Size Guide

Last updated: November 14, 2026

This Size Guide helps everyone in a bridal party choose a size with confidence, from the bride-to-be and the maid of honor to the mother of the groom and a 6-year-old flower girl. It explains which size labels each product uses, how to measure a shirt you already own, how a unisex fit tends to wear, and how youth sizes work for the junior party. If you still are not sure, email support@bridetee.shop before you order. We reply within 24 hours on business days.

1. Size labels by product type

Every product on Bride Tee uses one of three size sets. The table shows which labels you will see on each product page. It lists labels only; measurements for each blank are being confirmed and are not shown here yet.

2. Adult sizes: S to 5XL

Adult tees, long sleeve tees and crewnecks run from S to 5XL, in a unisex fit, and the price is the same in every size. There is no upsize charge for 2XL, 3XL, 4XL or 5XL. That is what the homepage band “Same tee for the whole line-up” means: a bridesmaid who wears 4XL and a bridesmaid who wears S can wear the same design, in the same colour, at the same price.

Which colours each blank offers in every size from S to 5XL is being confirmed product by product. Each product page shows the sizes and colours you can choose for that product. If a size or colour you need is not offered on a product page, email us before you order and we will tell you what we know.

3. How to measure a shirt you own

The most reliable way to choose a size is to measure a shirt that already fits you the way you like, then compare it with the garment measurements for the product. You need a tape measure or a ruler and a flat surface such as a table or a bed.

1. Pick the right shirt. For a tee or long sleeve tee, choose a tee you like the fit of. For a crewneck, choose a sweatshirt you like, because a sweatshirt is usually cut roomier than a tee.
2. Lay it flat. Button nothing, smooth out wrinkles, and lay the front facing up with the sleeves out to the sides.
3. Measure the width. Measure straight across the chest, from one side seam to the other, just below the armholes. This is the half-chest width, the figure most size charts use.
4. Measure the length. Measure from the highest point of the shoulder, where the collar meets the shoulder seam, straight down to the bottom hem.
5. Measure the sleeve for a long sleeve tee or crewneck. Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
6. Write the numbers down. Keep them in your notes or post them in the group chat with your name, so the organiser has them when she orders.

Garment measurements for each blank are being confirmed. If you need them before ordering, email us your shirt’s measurements and the product you are looking at, and we will reply with what we can tell you for that product.

4. Unisex fit advice

A unisex size is cut for a straight, relaxed shape rather than a fitted women’s shape. Many people who usually buy women’s tops find that a unisex size feels roomier through the body and the shoulders than the same letter in a women’s cut. These are general tendencies, not measurements for our products, but they help most people choose.

• For a closer fit, many women go one size down from their usual women’s size.
• For a relaxed fit, stay with your usual size.
• For an oversized layer, go one size up, or stay with your usual size in a crewneck.
• Between two sizes, the larger size is usually easier to wear over another layer, and the smaller one tucks more neatly.

Crewnecks

Crewneck sweatshirts are often roomy. Many women size down for a neater shape, while others keep their usual size for a looser layer on the morning after or at a cool welcome party. Think about how you will wear it: over a dress on the way to the rehearsal dinner, or on its own with jeans at the morning-after brunch.

Plus sizes

2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL are part of the same line-up, at the same price as every other size. Measure a favourite shirt the same way, and choose by measurement rather than by the letter you usually buy, because letter sizes differ widely between brands.

5. Youth sizes for the junior party

The Flower Girl, Junior Bridesmaid and Ring Bearer tees are youth tees in YXS, YS, YM, YL and YXL. They are children’s products with their own sizes. A child should not be put in an adult S: an adult tee is cut for an adult body, and even the smallest adult size will be long and wide on most children.

How to choose a youth size

1. Find a shirt the child wears now and likes, ideally a plain tee.
2. Lay it flat and measure the width across the chest just below the armholes, and the length from the top of the shoulder to the hem, as in section 3.
3. Compare by measurement, not by age. Children of the same age can be several sizes apart, and youth sizes from different brands differ. Measuring the child’s own shirt is more reliable than going by the age on a label.
4. Leave a little room. If the wedding is a few months away, the child may grow. A youth size with a little room is usually easier than one that is snug on the day.

A flower girl aged six

A mother of the bride is ordering for the whole family and adds a Flower Girl tee for her granddaughter, who is six. Her first instinct is the smallest adult size so it matches the bridesmaids. Instead, she measures one of the girl’s own tees, flat on the kitchen table, and emails the width and length with the product name. The youth size is chosen from those numbers, not from the age. If you are not sure between two youth sizes, email us before you order.

6. Sizing a whole bridal party

Choosing sizes for eight people takes a little more planning than choosing one. These steps make it simple.

1. Ask everyone to measure. Post the steps from section 3 in the group chat and ask each person to reply with her width, her length and her usual size.
2. Collect sizes in one list. Write each name, role, size and colour in one list before anyone orders. Note the youth sizes separately.
3. Decide on fit as a group. If the party wants a relaxed look, everyone can stay with her usual size; if some want closer, they can size down. A line-up looks consistent when everyone chooses the same way.
4. Add a spare if it helps. A spare for a late RSVP is just one more line in the cart. There is no minimum and no group discount, and every adult size costs the same.

One design from S to 4XL

A maid of honor ordering for a party in Butter has one bridesmaid who wears S and another who wears 4XL. Both choose the same Bridesmaid tee, in the same colour, and both pay the same price. The difference is only the size label on each line in the cart.

7. If a size is not right

• Within 24 hours of ordering, you can change a size. Email us with the order number, the line and the new size. See Cancel or Change an Order.
• After delivery, any product can be returned within 60 days, personalised pieces included. For a change-of-mind return, including a size that did not suit you, return postage is on us with a free return label. See Returns & Exchanges.
• Refunds are sent within 7 days of us receiving the return. Store credit, which never expires, is also available. See the Refund Policy.

Every adult size costs the same, so swapping a 2XL for a 3XL never changes the price.

8. Timing a size change before an event

Making takes 1-3 business days and transit 7-14 business days, so a new order can take up to 17 business days to arrive. That is an estimate from our stated times, not a guarantee. If the bach weekend, the hens night or the bridal shower is close, measuring before you order saves time later. Ordering about a month ahead leaves room for one size swap. The count-back is explained on Shipping & Delivery.

9. Sizes on personalised pieces

The Future Mrs Crewneck with Last Name and the Name and Role Crewneck use the same adult sizes, S to 5XL, as every other crewneck. The Weekend Itinerary Tee with Place and Date uses the adult tee sizes. Personalisation is free and does not change the price of any size. Because the text is printed exactly as typed, check the size on each personalised line as carefully as the spelling: a Name and Role Crewneck ordered for a maid of honor in the wrong size carries her name, so it helps to confirm both in the group chat before checkout. If a personalised piece does not fit, it can be returned within 60 days of delivery like any other product.

10. A size note for the group chat

Organisers often paste a short note like this into the group chat so everyone answers in the same way:

“Sizing for the weekend tees: lay a tee you love flat, measure straight across the chest just below the arms, and from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Reply with your name, those two numbers, your usual size, and whether you like it relaxed or closer. Sizes run S to 5XL, unisex, same price for everyone. For the flower girl and ring bearer, measure one of their own tees; they wear youth sizes YXS to YXL.”

Both mothers in the same tee

The mother of the groom wants the same Dusty Blue tee as the mother of the bride, and the two of them wear different sizes. Each measures her own favourite tee and chooses her own label, and the two tees look the same in the line-up because they are the same product in the same colour. Neither pays more for her size.

11. One-size items

The cap, mug, tote bag and zip pouch come in one size, so there is nothing to choose. Sizes and capacities for the mug, tote bag and zip pouch are listed on their product pages where available; if you need a detail that is not shown, email us.

12. Ask us about a size

Email support@bridetee.shop with the subject “Size – no order yet – surname”, the product you are looking at, the size you usually wear, how you like the fit, and your shirt’s flat measurements if you have them. For a youth tee, add the child’s shirt measurements. We reply within 24 hours on business days. More answers are on the FAQs, and the format for a support email is on Submit a Ticket.
