Straight answers on Waverly and Jensen dress fit, Jenny Yoo sizing, alterations, and length so you can order with confidence.
Quick answer
Start with the size chart and your bust and waist measurements, then treat the Waverly's scoop neckline and the Jensen's one-shoulder cut as the main fit checkpoints. Both styles can be altered, but plan hem and strap adjustments before you order.
Why the neckline changes your size decision
The Waverly's scoop neckline and detachable off-the-shoulder sleeves put more focus on the bust and shoulders, so your bust measurement should guide the size you choose. The Jensen's asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline offers bust coverage but leaves one shoulder bare, which means the fit across the chest and back matters more than the shoulder width.
When to size for the bodice rather than the skirt
Both dresses have defined bodices—Waverly with pleats and Jensen with a slim A-line—so if your measurements fall between sizes, choose the size that fits your bust and waist. Taking in a skirt is usually simpler than letting out a bodice, and the Jensen's slim A-line skirt skims curves without needing extra room.
Length and hemming: what to plan for
The catalog does not list a specific length for either dress, so hemming is likely. The Waverly's slit and the Jensen's slit both run up the leg, and shortening the hem can change how the slit falls. Bring the shoes you plan to wear to your fitting so the hem and slit land correctly.
Fit questions answered
- How do I choose my Jenny Yoo size for the Waverly or Jensen?
- Use the size chart and your current bust and waist measurements. If you are between sizes, size to the bodice because both dresses have defined waistlines and taking in the skirt is easier than altering the bust. Measure yourself over the undergarments you plan to wear.
- Can the Waverly's off-the-shoulder sleeves be removed?
- Yes, the sleeves are detachable, so you can wear the dress with or without them. That gives you two necklines from one dress and lets you adjust coverage for the event. Try the dress both ways before your fitting to decide which look you want.
- Will the Jensen's one-shoulder neckline stay in place?
- The asymmetrical neckline offers bust coverage, and the slim spaghetti straps at the back help secure the dress. Have your tailor check the strap tension so the neckline sits flat without pulling. Test the neckline with the exact undergarments you plan to wear.
- What alterations should I expect for either dress?
- Hemming is the most common alteration because the catalog does not list a length. You may also need strap or neckline adjustments and a waist take-in. Bring your shoes to the fitting so the hem and slit fall correctly. Book the fitting at least two weeks before the event to allow for adjustments.
- How long are the Waverly and Jensen dresses?
- The product descriptions do not specify a length, so check the size chart or contact customer service for the current measurement. Plan for hemming if you are shorter or want a specific shoe height. Ask for the hollow-to-hem measurement if you are ordering online.
Product facts to know
- Waverly: Cut in textured Luxe Faille with a scoop neckline, bodice and skirt pleats, a slit, and detachable off-the-shoulder sleeves. The structured fabric and pleats hold their shape, so if you are between sizes, the bodice is the area to fit first.
Waverly - Jensen: One-shoulder satin dress with an asymmetrical neckline, slim spaghetti straps at the back, a slim A-line skirt, and a slit. The back straps and one-shoulder cut mean you should check back fit and strap comfort, not just your usual size.
