High Couture Size Guide
High Couture dresses come in US sizes 00 through 24. To find your size, measure your bust, waist and hips, compare them to the chart below, and choose the size that fits your largest measurement. Formal gowns are sized differently from everyday clothes, so go by your measurements rather than your usual size. Sizes may vary based on the fabric and style.
