Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
Helpful tip: Keep in mind to wear a comfortable, non-padded bra for the most accurate fit.
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist - typically the small of your back and where your body bends side to side.
Helpful tip: Need help finding your natural waist? Bending to one side will help reveal the natural crease of your waist.
Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
Helpful tip: Keep your heels together for the most accurate measurement. Also, if you feel unsure, measure slightly above and below the spot you feel is the fullest to confirm you nailed it.

One of the most beautiful dresses I've ever owned. It fits true to size. The only reason I purchased a size 12 was b/c it was the only one available at the time (I was willing to alter it). Thankful for the great customer service! I was able to get size 10.
Hi there!
We're so glad you love the Messina Maxi Shift Dress. It is simply a gorgeous dress with classic lace styling.

Enjoy your perfect fit, and thank you for sharing your kind words!
Kindly,
Suzin
The color and white embroidered are gorgeous, though the silhouette leans a bit boxy/relaxed (as most shift dresses do). The fabric is not too thick and holds its shape well. It's absolutely beautiful!!
My absolute favorite for 2026 (and I buy a lot of Lillies). This dress is so figure flattering. Great and comfortable for everyday or special occasion. How often can you say that?! You can accessorize if you want, but if you just throw it on and go out barefoot you'll still be a knockout.
Hi Patricia!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Your excitement for this dress truly shines through, and we’re thrilled to hear how much you love the Messina Maxi Shift Dress and its versatility.
It’s always rewarding to know that our pieces make you feel confident, comfortable, and fabulous! And if you’re looking to accessorize beyond the gorgeous lace trim, these earrings would be a beautiful complement to the dress:
We look forward to helping you find more favorites!

I just received this incredible dress and could not wait to spread the joy! Ha! It is gorgeous........too gorgeous for words. I have absolutely nowhere to wear this beauty, but I had to have it. The fabric is smooth as glass and very "fancy" seeming and the white embroidery is just perfect-----not over or under done. I would give it 100 stars if I could. And it is SO flattering! What a beauty this is and worth all that money.
Hi Franceen,
What a fun review of the Messina Maxi Shift Dress! It certainly is truly stunning, and we're so happy it brought you joy to purchase it. We agree that the detailed embroidery is classic and lovely. We hope that you will find the perfect time to wear this gorgeous dress. Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Warmly,
Suzin
