Made to order gowns are handmade specifically for you and generally take 4-12 months to create depending on the style.
Many of our have the option of adding sleeves or extending a train by a set amount should you require this customization. Additionally, some gowns are offered in multiple colors and with varying liners to add an element of personalization to your gown. In some cases, we offer our brides a bespoke or customized gown that is not suggested online, for specific requests email contact@urbbridal.com.
Our sizes are unique to our brand and are based on a brides bust, waist and hip and hem to hollow measurements in inches. You can find our size and measuring guide on our gown pages, simply click Find my size.
Before purchasing, we recommend carefully taking your measurements. Should your measurements fall into differing size brackets, we do offer a custom sizing as an option for many of our gowns. This customization is an additional fee, however this change ensures that your gown is created closer to your unique measurements.

Watch our 'Measuring yourself at home' video HERE
We recommend measuring yourself with a soft measuring tape in inches.
For your bust:
Wrap the measuring tape around your chest lining the tape up so that it meets across your nipples or the center of your breast.
For your waist:
Wrap the measuring tape around the smallest part of your waist, typically around your lowest rib.
For your hips:
Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips, typically at the top of the buttocks.

In the event that your bust, waist and hip measurements should fall into differing size brackets, we do offer custom measurement option for many of our gowns.
Cusotm measurement fees do apply, and the measurements need to be specified before placing the gown in your bag online.
The measurements that you provide at the time of initial purchase are the measurements that will be taken into account when your gown is put into production and is made.
Changes to these measurements cannot be made should your measurements change after the point of purchase, so we advise our brides to take their time when measuring themselves and seek advice from our expert bridal stylists here if you are unsure.
Your gown is made in the size or custom measurements that were initially indicated to URB bridal at the time of purchase and cannot be changed thereafter. Whilst we are happy to offer advice where applicable, all alterations and changes to gowns will need to be arranged and orchestrated at the expense of the bride.
If you are worried about any fluctuation in weight we reccomend purchasing a gown with a corset back, or contacting about customizing a dress to create a corset back.
With URB gowns, our standard sizes and custom measurements are designed to be accurate to measurement brackets, however it is important to note that these brackets do not equate to each curvature and beautifully unique proportion of your body.
In almost all cases, industry wide, gowns will need alterations after completion to ensure your gown is perfect for you. We strongly urge our brides to arrange to have alterations upon receiving their gown and to budget for this within their gown process.
If you are curious if you are a standard size or if you require split sizing, speak to our online stylist HERE.
