The charts below will help your find your general size.  You may use these charts as your starting point for any alterations you may need. Remember to fit your gown from the most bodacious part of you! It is always easier to take a larger part in than to let a smaller part out!  If you do not feel comfortable measuring yourself, PLEASE SEE A PROFESSIONAL.  You can usually find a tailor or seamstress at your local dry cleaner (as they typically offer alteration services).
