I went by the sizing chart of the designer.

hi, if possible get a dressmaker to measure ur BM's, i bought mine from an American site found them to be very helpful if you contact them. Use the designers sizes as they are so different from ours. Good luck enjoy looking

i got my brides maid dress on line from america,i went with our normal sizes i.e. size 14 and had no problem, i did however order one size up just in case you can always get a dress taken in. also keep in mind to budget for tax on goods inported to ireland you'll have to pay this at the post office when collecting goods.
