Find Your Size
Buying a dress online means trusting a photograph — and we know that takes a little faith. So we've made this page as clear as we can, and made it easy to put right if the size isn't quite there.
Take two minutes with a tape measure before you order. It's the single best way to get it right first time.
How to Measure
You'll need a soft tape measure and, ideally, someone to help. Measure over your underwear rather than clothing, and keep the tape snug but never tight — you should be able to slip a finger underneath.
Bust — around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape level across your back.
Waist — around the narrowest part of your natural waist, usually just above the belly button. Don't hold your breath in.
Hips — around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, roughly 20 cm below your waist.
Length — this is how we measure the dress itself, from the shoulder seam straight down to the hem. Compare it against your own height to picture where it will fall.
Size Chart
All measurements are in centimetres and refer to body measurements, not the garment.

A Few Notes on Fit
Go by your measurements, not your usual size. High-street sizing varies wildly from shop to shop. The chart above is the honest version — it's what will actually fit you.
Between two sizes? Take the larger one. Our dresses are designed to skim rather than cling, and a fraction of extra room always reads better than a fraction too little. If the bust and hips point to different sizes, size for the bust — waists and hips are far more forgiving in these cuts.
Check the length. Our dresses are cut long. If you're petite, look at the length measurement against your own height so you know exactly where the hem will sit.
Still unsure? Tell us your measurements and we'll tell you which size to order. We'd far rather spend two minutes helping you choose than have you send a dress back. Email support@graceandanne.com — we usually reply the same day.
If It's Not Quite Right, We'll Sort It
You shouldn't have to gamble on a size. If the dress arrives and the fit isn't there, you have 14 days to exchange it for a different size — no explanation needed, no awkward questions.
How it works
- Email support@graceandanne.com with your order number and the size you'd like instead.
- We'll send you the return details straight away.
- Post the dress back to us, unworn and with the tags still on.
- Your new size goes out as soon as your return is on its way.
If we've sold out of the size you need, we'll refund you in full — no waiting, no store credit you didn't ask for.
You also have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving it for a full refund, in line with UK consumer law. Full details are on our Returns & Refunds page.
