One Honey Size Guide – Find the Perfect Fit for Your Prom or Formal Dress
Finding the right size is one of the most important steps when buying a prom or formal dress in Australia.
At One Honey Boutique, we guide tens of thousands of customers each year through sizing for school formals, proms, weddings and special occasions — both online and in our Gold Coast showroom. This size guide explains how formal dress sizing works, how to read designer size charts, and what to do if you’re between sizes, petite, curvy, or shopping with peace of mind as a parent.
If you’re ever unsure, our expert stylists are here to help before you order, just reach out via the buttons below.
Important: Formal dress sizing can vary by designer, style and fabric. Always refer to the specific designer size chart listed below, not your usual clothing size.

Between Sizes or Unsure What to Choose?
If your measurements fall between sizes, we recommend ordering based on your exact body measurements, as formal dresses are designed to be tailored for the perfect fit. Some styles may require minor alterations, such as hemming or strap adjustments, to achieve the best result.
Our experienced stylists can also advise on:
- Fabric stretch vs structure
- Bust support and internal boning
- Alteration allowances by style
- Best styles for petite or curvy frames
- Checking availability via our Dress Registry
