How to measure yourself — ready-made wrap dresses
How to measure yourself. ready-made wrap dresses.
- Bust circumference is the one that matters. Run the tape around the fullest part of your bust, level all the way around including your back. Stand relaxed, arms down, breathe normally. The tape should sit snug, not tight. Measure in ordinary underwear — not without it, and not over a thick jumper.
- Length. Each dress lists its length from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Hold the tape at your shoulder and let it fall — you will see where the dress ends on you. This is the only reliable way, because your height alone does not tell you.
- You do not need waist or hip measurements. These are wrap dresses with a generous overlap: the tie adjusts tighter or looser, and the wrap covers the hips. The bust is the single measurement that has to match.
If you fall between two ranges — 96 cm, say — either neighbouring dress will work: the smaller one closer to the body, the larger one easier. Send a message and Ieva will tell you which suits that particular dress better.

In the table every dress has a bust range, a length from the shoulder and a fabric. Find your bust measurement in the first column — every row with it is a dress that fits you, and the length tells you where the dress will end on you.
You can measure without a helper: stand at a mirror so you can see the tape is not slipping at the back, and read the number on a calm exhale. If two measurements differ, take the larger one — a wrap dress forgives a looser tie, not a tight one.
If you want to see a dress on your own body, every dress page has a try-on: choose a figure, height and size or upload your own photo. The image is generated and shows the cut and proportions, not the exact shade or fit.
If in doubt, write to Ieva on WhatsApp with your bust measurement and the dress code — she will say whether that dress fits and, if needed, suggest the neighbouring size.
The size letter is only in the name; choose by centimetres. Two dresses with the same letter can have different bust ranges, so the first column of the table is the one that matters, and the letter only helps you find the dress in the ribbon.
Length is easier to judge against a dress you already own: measure it from the top of the shoulder to the hem and compare with the number in the table. If one bust range has several lengths in the table, that is exactly how those dresses differ.
In the clips every dress is shown on three body types — apple, pear, hourglass — and they show the cut, not the size: the size is decided only by the bust measurement that is in this table.
Before ordering, check four things: the bust measurement is within the range, the length suits you, the fabric is the one you want, and the code matches the dress you saw in the ribbon. If any of that is unclear, write on WhatsApp before paying.
The table is built from the same data as every dress page and changes when a dress is sold or a new one is added — so look at it before ordering, not from memory. Sold dresses are not in the table; their page stays, but they can no longer be bought.
