That feeling when you walk into a bridal boutique is magical - the sparkle of the gowns, the anticipation, the dream. But let’s be honest, that magic can sometimes be interrupted by one little thing: sizing.

At Becker’s Bridal, we get it. We know that the search for the perfect dress should be fun, comfortable, and empowering, which is why we’ve put together this inclusive guide to wedding dress sizing, no matter if you’re a size 2 or 32!
The very first, most important piece of advice we can give you is this: Bridal sizing isn't like typical street wear sizing. While you might be a size 4-6 in jeans, you’re most likely a size 8-10 in wedding dresses. If you’re a size 14-16, you’re likely an 18-20. Most brides find they are approximately 1-2 sizes larger in bridal gowns than in street clothing.

Don’t worry about it - sizing is just a number! Your wedding dress size is simply the reference point for the designer to cut and create your perfect gown. It has absolutely no bearing on how gorgeous you will look walking down the aisle.
At Becker’s Bridal, inclusivity isn't just a buzzword; it’s how we stock our inventory. We’re proud to stock a huge range of beautiful gowns from size 2 to 32, with the majority of the selections ranging between bridal size 6-26. Most designers’ charts start at a size 2 or 4 and continue to size 28 or 32.

You might be asking, why is bridal sizing so different? It comes down to construction. Bridal gowns are cut differently than normal clothing. They are designed for a more structured, tailored fit, often relying on boning, specific seam placement, and high-quality fabrics that are less stretchy than everyday wear. This means the measurements for the bust, waist, and hips must align more precisely with a designer's rigid size chart.
