How to Confidently Order Your Wedding Dress Online With Gaâla Paris
Ordering your wedding dress online can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. This guide will walk you through the process step by step, ensuring your experience with Gaâla Paris is seamless, stress-free, and enjoyable.
How to Choose Your Wedding Dress
Choosing your wedding dress is an exciting and personal experience. To help guide you through this process, we've put together a step-by-step guide on measuring yourself and selecting the perfect dress for your special day.
1. Measure Yourself
Before browsing our collection, it's important to take accurate measurements to ensure the perfect fit. Here's how to measure yourself correctly:
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape comfortably snug but not tight. Make sure the tape is parallel to the ground.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically just above your belly button. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Ensure the tape is not too tight and rests naturally around your hips.
Shoulder to Floor: Stand straight with your feet together and measure from the top of your shoulder (near the collarbone) straight down to the floor. This measurement will help determine the length of your gown.
Bust to Waist: Measure from the top of your bust to your natural waistline. This will help with fit and structure, especially for dresses with defined waistlines.
Arm Length (if applicable): If your dress has sleeves, measure from the top of your shoulder to your wrist.
Tip: Always measure yourself in your undergarments or the foundation garments you plan to wear on your wedding day. Having a friend or family member assist you is also helpful.
2. Choose Your Silhouette
Once you have your measurements, it's time to think about the style of dress that will best suit your body shape and the type of wedding you're having.
A-Line: Flattering for most body types, the A-line dress is fitted at the top and gradually flares out, creating a balanced silhouette. Best for: Pear-shaped, hourglass, and athletic body types.
Mermaid: Fitted through the body and flaring out at the knee, this silhouette is perfect for a more dramatic, form-fitting look for brides. Best for: Hourglass and rectangular body types.
Ball Gown: Ideal for a fairytale wedding, this silhouette has a fitted bodice and a full skirt, giving you a classic, princess-like appearance. Best for: Apple-shaped, pear-shaped, and petite body types.
Two-Piece Set: This combination offers a sleek, structured look with a sophisticated, contemporary feel. Best for: Tall, hourglass, and athletic body types.
3. Finalize Your Fit
Once you've chosen your dress, it's time to ensure that it fits perfectly. Consult our detailed sizing chart on each product page for guidance. If you have any doubts our team is here to assist with sizing advice and adjustments at wedding@gaala.com.
4. Estimate Delivery Dates
Once you've selected your perfect gown, simply place your order, and our skilled artisans will begin crafting your dress. Please note that as each gown is made to order, the production time is approximately 4-5 weeks. We recommend ordering your wedding dress as early as 6 months in advance, which is ideal to allow for any possible exchanges or adjustments. However, 9-12 weeks is the minimum time required to ensure your gown is ready for the big day.
