How to check your measurements before buying a plus size cocktail dress
Double checking your measurements is the best way to ensure your plus size cocktail dress fits how you want it to! To check your measurements, head to our dress size measurement guide or follow these steps:
- Grab a flexible tape measure or flexible string.
- Put on the undergarments you plan to wear with your dress, including your bra, underwear, and shapewear.
- Holding the tape measure not too loose but not too tight, measure the fullest part of your bust, the smallest part of your waist, and the widest part of your hips.
- For length, measure from the base of your neck to your feet. Get a friend to help you if you can’t reach!
- Take all your measurements and compare them to the chart of the dress you want to buy.

Frequently asked questions about plus size cocktail dresses
What length should a cocktail dress be?
Cocktail dresses are designed to hit at the knee. That might vary a bit depending on how tall you are and the particular dress you buy. But when the dress code asks for cocktail attire, you can’t go wrong with a knee-length dress.
