Use the tape to circle your waist (like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button. The tape should not feel snug, it should have some give.
With your heels together measure around the widest part of your hips (about 8in or 20cm below your natural waist).
Place one end of the tape measure at the widest part of your chest, wrap it around (under your arms). The tape should not feel snug, it should have some give.
The Sarah Shift Dress redefines classic with a modern edge. Cut in a sleek, structured silhouette, it balances clean lines with thoughtful details, from its high neckline to sharp short sleeves and front flap pockets punctuated with polished buttons. Available in tailored black or textured tweed, Sarah is equally at home paired with a classic flat for a nod to mod, or styled with statement heel for a more refined finish. Elegant and versatile, this is the shift, evolved.

"This is a classic style with a splash of sparkle. Perfect for any special occasion. High quality fabric and construction. It is a beautiful piece."
— Darian L. (5/5)
"I am glad I read the reviews to size up. The fit is perfect. Excited to replace my LBD."
— Peggy M. (5/5)
"The dress is very much worth the price. I purchased the textured tweed, and the colors are more vibrant than pictured online. The dress is much more appealing with the woven shimmer of tinsel which made the purchase much more satisfying. I am really pleased with the quality and the classic cut."
— Tina T. (5/5)
"everything about this dress is beautiful. i had to have it bc it reminds me of audrey hepburn’s wardrobe which is definitely my style! . i’m a size 8/10 and i ordered the medium based on the measurements. it is a bit tight fitting for me and would have preferred a large for the ideal fit. i will have to wear body shapers for a smoother look. for reference, i’m 140lbs, 5’1” 38d in the bust. overall, i absolutely love this dress and it is a classic that will never go out of style!"

"Love the fit, style and colord"
— Barbara S. (5/5)
"This dress looked very cute online and I purchased it. The fit was great, I felt the material was not as good of quality that I would expect from Frances Valentine. There are also pockets , but on the side, the pocket flaps in the front are not real. I have many dresses from Frances Valentine and the material is all very good quality. This was thinner and I thought seemed a little cheaper. It also had a lot of sparkle in the fabric and I was not expecting that. I did exchange it for another dress and that was extremely easy to do, so I am very pleased with the service."
— Marisa C. (5/5)
"I wish I would have ordered a large, but it was final sale so no exchange. I own mediums in other FV dresses so I hoped it would work. It is a pretty good fit through shoulders and chest, but definitely more snug through hips. I can still wear it, just only on those "good" days and with the aid of some shapers. It is well made, very high quality. I recommend getting it if you have been eyeing it, just size up if you are blessed in the bottom."
— Jennifer W. (5/5)
"Perfect fit, darling choice for next holiday season."
— Jennifer E. (5/5)
"The LBD that fits like a glove! Very flattering with gorgeous Ponte material and beautifully constructed. The LBD that will be at the ready for years to come."
— Kimberly P. (5/5)
"It’s hard for me to order clothes from you, last time I ordered a skirt XS size, it’s way too small, I asked exchange for S. This time I ordered S, it’s huge on me, not flattering at all, I know it’s unreturned item, I have to ask for exchange for size XS."
