Peridress can't assume responsibility for the size ordered or the measurements taken. Also the suggestion of a specific size. The customer shoulder be responsible for the size. We recommended that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress/tailor to measure your dress size. Always get someone else to complete for you: measuring yourself will give inaccurate numbers and could lead to disappointment. Peridress garments use the english standard system for all measurements and sizes. To convert your metric measurements to inches, see our metric converter. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear your dress and not over other clothing. See the following for measuring tips!
