The Ultimate Guide to Ensuring a Perfect Fit

 

Maxi dresses are a staple in the wardrobe of many modest women, offering both style and coverage. However, finding the perfect fit can sometimes be a challenge. To help you achieve a flawless look, here is the ultimate guide to ensuring a perfect fit for modest women when it comes to maxi dresses.

Understanding Your Body Measurements

Before purchasing a maxi dress, it is essential to know your body measurements. Take accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and sleeve length. If you don't know your height take the measurement of your full body, from head to toe. Refer to the size chart provided by the brand to select the right size for your body type. If only the dress length is available, a good equivalent between your height and the skirt size would be: (For floor-length fit, add 2 inches).

Your height Dress length
5'1" 50"
5'3" 52"
5'5" 54"
5'7" 56"

 

Consider the Neckline and Sleeve Length

For a modest look, choose maxi dresses with higher necklines such as crew neck or boat neck. Additionally, consider the sleeve length based on your preference for coverage. 

Adjustable Features

Look for maxi dresses with adjustable features such as tie belts, drawstrings, or elastic waistbands. These elements allow you to customize the fit according to your body shape and ensure a comfortable and flattering look.

Tailoring and Alterations

If you find a maxi dress that you love but it doesn't fit perfectly, consider getting it tailored. A skilled tailor can make adjustments to the dress to ensure a flawless fit that complements your body shape. Whether it's hemming the length or taking in the waist, tailoring can make a significant difference.

Now that you know everything about the perfect fit, the only thing left is to start shopping!
