What's the difference between street size and label size?

Street Size VS Label Size

Our listings include both label and street sizes. Ask the seller to confirm their measurements and how the dress fits for a better idea of alterations you may need.

What's the difference?

Label size is the size listed on the dress tag by the designer. It often runs larger than your typical size. For example, if you're usually a size 8, your label size could be 10, 12, or even 14. If the dress hasn't been altered, it should match the measurements on the designer’s website.

Street size is what you wear at a mall store like Nordstrom. It's subjective and meant to guide you in choosing the right dress for your body measurements.

Tip: Always buy a dress within your size range. It's easier to take a dress in than to let it out, especially if it's already been altered, as most dresses only have 1/2-1" of extra material.

All dresses on our site are meant to be listed in US size. The seller may state other sizes in their description, such as EU or UK sizing.
