The Azazie Bridesmaid Dress Fit

At Azazie, we are always working on improving our fit to make sure our bridesmaid dresses help you look your best on the big day. We’ve recently updated our fit, and our fit now runs true to size.

Please keep in mind that it’s always better to take in a bridesmaid dress (for alterations) than hope that there’s enough fabric to let out.

Custom-Size Dress

With our custom-size dresses, there will not be any ease added anywhere in the dress.

For example, let’s say you are in between sizes 4 and 6 and order two sample dresses to see which one fits you better before ordering. Because you want to customize the length of your bridesmaid dress, you plan on ordering a custom dress and using the measurements of the size 6 dress. This will not work because the standard size 6 dress includes ease in it, and the custom dress measurements you are using will not include that ease. This means you can freely choose floor-length bridesmaid dresses according to your and your bridesmaids’ preferences without worrying about the unsuitable length.

Therefore, if you’re ordering a custom-size bridesmaid dress, take the measurements snug by following our size chart for guidance. If you like a snug fit, then use those exact measurements. You can add 0.5 inch up to 1 inch for comfort, which is the maximum amount of ease to add. Please be aware that adding 1 inch will result in a looser fit.

Standard-Size Dress

All standard sizes will now have added ease; in other words, we’re adding extra space in the bridesmaid dresses to help improve your comfort and movement. Regardless of the style of the bridesmaid dress, 1.5 inches of ease will be added to the hips for sizes 16 and below. For sizes 18 and above, we’ll be adding 1.75 inches of ease to the hip measurement. Hance, shop our plus size bridesmaid dresses without any worry!

Strapless fit

For our strapless dresses, the fit is snug in order to give you the support you need in the bust area. With strapless bridesmaid dresses, filling out the cups of the dress helps the gown stay up. Therefore, there is no ease at the bust, regardless of size. For sizes 16 and below, a 0.5-inch ease will be added at the waist. For sizes 18 and above, there will be a 0.75-inch extra added to the waist. The ease added to these styles is minimal and mainly added for comfort and ease of movement.

Strap/Sleeve fit

For the rest of our styles that have straps or sleeves, the fit is true to size with some extra ease added to the bust. In these gowns for all sizes, the bust has 1 inch of ease for comfort and movement. For sizes 16 and below, there will be a 0.5-inch ease at the waist. For sizes 18 and above, there will be a 0.75-inch extra added to the waist.

Bra vs. No Bra?

Plenty of stunning bridesmaid dresses, like straight neckline bridesmaid dresses showing the beautiful neckline and shoulder of the wearer, require special shapewear.

But don’t worry! We work hard to make sure that you have support in our bridesmaid gowns without wearing a bra! We understand that this fit doesn’t work for everyone and that you may still prefer to wear a bra with your bridesmaid gown. Just be sure to measure yourself with the undergarments that you plan on wearing with the bridesmaid dress! If you prefer to wear your own bra with our dress, the gown will look better without the cups that come with the dress. The cups can be easily taken out by a seamstress or tailor! And if you are looking for suitable and comfortable shapewear for a gown look, Azazie can offer you ideal choices.  All of Azazie’s shapewear will embrace your curves with no scrunching or panty lines. High-waisted briefs with elastic waistbands are good options if you want to hide your belly. If you want to wear a short summer dress, tight shorts will be a good idea. Choosing the right size is essential because smaller shapewear can create the opposite effect of what you are looking for, cause extra bulges, and most likely make you uncomfortable. But don’t worry, Azazie has ideal shapewear for every size and everybody! We vary in sizes from S to 6XL, and we provide bras, petals, and adhesive breast tape that is one size fits most. And we have a unique size chart for our products; please pay attention to it and choose a comfortable one!

Just embracing individuality is the key to bridal pleasure as we wrap up our investigation into the world of wedding dress sizes. Every curve and contour has a distinct narrative to tell, and finding the perfect fit requires both flair and self-expression. Remember that the ideal fit reflects confidence, comfort, and the celebration of your unique beauty—whether navigating the variety of sizes available or choosing adjustments here at Azazie.
