How to Measure Guidelines
In order to achieve accurate results, please have someone else do the measurements for you.
Using a dressmakers measuring tape, stand upright holding your body in a natural position, keeping your breathing regular. We want your clothing to be comfortable, so take care not to pull your measuring tape too tight… and remember, you won't be wearing your new garment over your jeans; take your measurements while in your lightweight leggings and tee.
Bust:
Place the tape measure under your arms, across your shoulder blades and over the fullest part of your bust. Drop your arms comfortably to your sides.
Waist:
To find your natural waist, stand upright, tilting your body to one side and mark your 'point of fold'. In an upright position measure the waist at this point.
Hip:
With feet together place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bottom and bring evenly around to the front.
Garment Length:
A) Place measuring tape at nape of neck in center of back and measure down to waist.
B) Place measuring at nape of neck and measure down to tailbone.
C) Place measuring tape at nape of neck and measure down to:
1. bottom of buttocks
2. back of knee
3. back of ankle
