Size Guide

Every dress is made to a slightly different pattern, so the measurements below are given dress by dress. All measurements are in centimetres and are taken from the dress laid flat, not from your child's body.

How to measure

Chest. Lay the dress flat and measure armpit to armpit. To compare with your child, measure around the fullest part of her chest and divide by two.

Shoulder to bottom. From the shoulder seam to the hem of the dress.

Sleeve length. From the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve.

If she is between two sizes, size up. A dress that is slightly roomy is far more comfortable over a long day than one that is snug, and tulle hangs better with a little room.

Choosing a size for an occasion

Order the size she wears now rather than the size she will grow into. A dress bought a size ahead looks it in photographs, and it is harder to carry a baby in a dress that is too long.

If the occasion is more than a month away and she is growing quickly, tell us her current measurements when you order and we will tell you what we would choose.

Still not sure?

Message us on Instagram at @emmaandan or email hello@emmaandan.com with her chest measurement and her age, and we will tell you which size to order. We would much rather help you choose than have you exchange it.

Please read our returns policy before you order. Because these are occasion dresses, a return has to come back unworn with the return tag still attached, and return shipping is paid by you.

Where to start

Browse baby dresses, 9 to 24 months or girls dresses, 2 to 6 years. For a specific occasion, see baptism and christening dresses, first birthday dresses or flower girl dresses.
