How to Answer “What Size Dress Am I?”

To find out what size dress am I, you’ll need two main body measurements:

  • Chest/Bust: Measure across the fullest part of your chest (usually over your breast forms if you wear them).

  • Waist: Measure around where you normally wear trousers or jeans.

Once you have these, refer to our size chart to determine your ideal size. It’s a straightforward way to answer that all-important question: what size dress am I?

Real-World Sizing Examples

Let’s say you have a 34″ waist and a 40″ chest. According to our guide:

  • Your skirt size would be a UK 14

  • Your blouse size would be a UK 16

  • So—what size dress am I? The answer is UK 16, as we always go with the larger of the two to ensure the best fit.

Dresses are one-piece garments, so sizing to your bust usually results in a better overall fit.

Why “What Size Dress Am I?” Isn’t Always Straightforward

The phrase “what size dress am I” might seem like a simple question, but there are exceptions that can affect your answer:

  • If your waist is larger than your chest, your results may differ

  • If your shoulders are broad or your torso longer than average, sizing can be affected

  • If you wear larger breast forms (e.g., D cup or above), go up a size for comfort

We recommend adjusting accordingly and always choosing garments with a little stretch for the best fit.

Expert Tips When Figuring Out What Size Dress You Are

Here are some golden rules to keep in mind when asking yourself “what size dress am I?”:

  1. Go for stretchy materials – They adjust better to your body shape.

  2. Dress for the shape you want to show – That might not always align with your exact measurements.

  3. Ignore the label – Focus on how it fits and how it makes you feel.

    I like this one, it was the only one that fit! It felt really comfortable, a perfect fit. I was really glad, because I think of myself as a size 12 so for the actual size 12 dress I was recommended to fit was brilliant.
