Fit Guide for Vampal’s Dress Collection

  • Choose the right evening dress, wedding gown, or formal dress style for your body-type and desired look.

  • 1.A-Line

    Universally flattering, the A-line silhouette really is a girl's best friend. By gently flaring from the shoulders down, it skims curves rather than clinging to them, to create an elegant silhouette. Is This Style for You? If you're petite A-Line adds the illusion of length; if you're tall it can add fullness, and if you've got curves you'd rather cover, the A-line does that too.

  • 2.Ball Gown or "Pick Up"

    The most traditional of all dress silhouettes, the ball gown adds curves by accentuating the waist and flowing gracefully into a full skirt. The skirt is great at hiding full hips and creating a gorgeous hourglass figure.Is This Style for You? A perfect choice for formal or “fairy-tale” inspired events, the ball gown style makes a wonderfully classic wedding dress. Looks great on most body types.

  • 3.Column or Sheath

    Figure-hugging column dresses come in a variety of strapless and backless styles. This modern style has become popular among brides who want a chic or beach wedding. Is This Style for You? An elegant choice for anyone with broad shoulders or slender, athletic builds, it can also elongate a petite figure. However, if there are certain areas you'd rather not accentuate, its clingy design might not be the style for you.

  • 4. Mermaid

    Also known as the trumpet or “fit and flare”, mermaid dresses are fitted at the top and flair dramatically around the knee. Is This Style for You? Mermaid silhouettes accentuate the bust, waist and hips giving an hourglass figure,so it is perfect for showing off your curves. A perfect choice for a glamorous celebrity-inspired wedding.

  • 5. Empire

    This empire silhouette features a bodice with a high waistline directly below the bust. The look can be either soft or flowing or more structured and classic, depending on the fabric and cut used. Is This Style for You? The empire silhouette draws attention up, enhancing the waist while softening the hips, making it a great look for most body types.

  • 6. Princess

    Created with a series of vertical panels of fabric, and no obvious waist, a princess silhouette is more dramatic in appearance than the A-line, but similarly flattering. Is This Style For You? The seams on a dress with a princess silhouette follow the contours of the body to create shape while elongating the torso. An ideal choice for anyone with a petite figure and small-waist.

  • 7. Tea-Length

    Tea-length dresses feature a hem that falls anywhere between the bottom of the knee and the bottom of the calf, creating an elegant yet casual style. Is This Style For You? Tea-length dresses are ideal for showing off your legs and a beautiful pair of shoes! A popular choice as a “second” wedding dress for your reception, a tea-length dress also makes a perfect summer dress.

Measuring Guide

  • The below is just a guide. We recommend that whenever possible you get a qualified seamstress to measure your dress size.Always get someone else to make the measurements for you: measuring yourself will give inaccurate numbers and could lead to disappointment. Measure with undergarments similar to those you will wear with your dress; do not measure over other clothing.
  • Bust
    Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a bra when taking this measurement.
    Waist
    This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it`s an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline.
    Hips
    This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. This measurement is not needed for full gowns.
    Hollow to Hem
    This is the length from your hollow ( the hollow just under your neck ) to your heels. (Take the tape from your front, with bare foot ). You should stand upright and your feet should keep together.
  • Easy Measuring Instructions

  • Before shopping for your perfect prom dress, it is crucial you measure yourself. It may look picture perfect on our model, however not all of our body types are the same. So if you want it to look striking on you, take accurate measurements. Here’s how:

  • To determine your body measurements use the following tips
  • Bust-Use a cloth measuring tape and bring it around your back and across the fullest part of the chest. Your arms should be relaxed. Measure the fullest part of your chest OVER the bra cup.
  • Waist- Bring the tape 1 inch above your belly button. Be sure not to suck in your stomach, and leave one finger under the tape so that you are able to breathe in your dress.
  • Hips-Measure yourself with your feet close together, bring the tape around the widest part of your hips, right across the hip bone.


  • Please consider that even with accurate measurements, you may still need to alter the dress. We recommend you order a dress 1 size larger then your size, that way if alterations need to be made, they are able to repair the dress according to your body size. If however if you get a dress of your size, and it might be a little too tight, you wont be able to open up the dress.
