Sizing Guide
At Joycard Concept, we know that the perfect fit makes all the difference, especially for wedding and special occasion dresses. To ensure you feel your best in one of our gowns, we've created this comprehensive sizing guide to help you find the size that suits you best.
How to Measure Yourself
Before choosing your size, it's important to take accurate measurements. Here’s a simple guide to help you measure yourself correctly.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Make sure the tape is straight and snug, but not too tight.
- Waist: Measure around the smallest part of your waist, just above the belly button.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips.
- Hollow to Hem: Measure from the hollow of your neck (the dip at the base of your throat) to the hem, ensuring the tape follows the curve of your body. This is important for floor-length dresses.
- Shoulder to Waist: Measure from the top of your shoulder to the smallest part of your waist. This is key for fitted bodices.

Dress Lengths
We offer dresses in varying lengths to suit your height and the occasion. When measuring for length, consider the following:
- Petite (up to 160 cm): Our dresses are proportioned to flatter a smaller frame.
- Standard (160-175 cm): Dresses are designed for the average height and will typically hit just above the floor for full-length gowns.
- Tall (175+ cm): Dresses are tailored to suit taller women for a perfectly balanced silhouette.
If you need a specific dress length, you can always choose our custom-fit option for made-to-measure gowns.
At Joycard Concept, we know that every bride and every celebration is unique. That’s why we offer custom sizing for the perfect fit. Simply provide your measurements during checkout, and our team will ensure your gown is tailored just for you.
