The Perfect Dress

To achieve a perfectly-fitted dress, please follow the directions below and submit your measurements directly to ALEX&RA.
This can be done before or after making your purchase.

Please note: All measurement fields are required.

{ First things first… }

  • Tie a string or ribbon around your waist for quick reference while measuring.
  • Extra room will be added later for movement and ease of wear, so only submit the exact numbers that you measure.
  • It is best to be measured by someone else while wearing thin clothes.
  • Remember to stand up straight and don’t suck in!
  • Do not pull the measuring tape tight, but let it lay gently on the body.
  • If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a string and mark where both ends touch, then use a flat ruler to measure the distance.
  • Perfect fit comes with accuracy so if you have any questions at all, please email us first at info@shopalexandra.com.
