How the gowns fit
Most Sandra Mansour evening gowns are built on a fitted bodice, and many have a structured corset inside. That bodice is the part to size for. If your bust and waist fall in different sizes, choose the size that fits your bust; a skirt in draped crepe georgette and tulle is forgiving through the hip, while a corset is not. Pieces in silk with a little elastane, such as the Illume Dress, hug the body more closely than the jersey and charmeuse drapes.
Length
The long gowns are cut to floor length on the runway model and many have a train, so if you are petite plan for a small hem adjustment, and wear the shoes you will wear on the day to the fitting. Midi and mini styles such as the Spellbound Dress and À Demi Dress need no adjustment.
Separates
The Axis Jacket and Still Top follow the same French sizing. The jacket is fitted with structured sleeves, so if you plan to layer it over knitwear, consider one size up.
