You can determine your stats by measuring something you have that fits you similarly to what you want to order. Place the garment flat on a bed or table with it buttoned or zipped up, make sure it's not bunched but is perfectly flat. then for the bust measure across from seam to seam at approximately the armpit. Deduct a couple of inches for ease and double the number. For example; if it's 18" exactly from side to side it is most likely a 34" bust. Of course if the garment is meant to fit snug then it will be a 36 bust. Do the same for waist and hips. Our measurements include ease where appropriate.
We do not use dress sizes at Ballyhoo because of the inaccuracy involved and because sizes have changed drastically over the years and the size on a garment can be very misleading.
Please let us know if you would like more info about any garment or how we determine measurements.
