How to Measure
Quick guide
Back Shoulder Width
Place the tape on "top" of the shoulders. Measure from the edge of the left shoulder across to the prominent neck bone located at the center of the back of the neck continuing to the edge of the right shoulder.
Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust and center the tape on your back so it's levelled all the way around.
Under Bust
When taking this measurement, your arms should be relaxed and down at your sides.
Wrap the tape around your ribcage right below your bust. Make sure the tape is levelled all the way around.
Mid-Shoulder to Bust Point
Please wear your bras when taking this measurement.
With shoulders and arms relaxed, measure from mid-shoulder point down to the nipple. Please wear your bras when taking this measurement.
Waist
Run tape around natural waistline, keeping tape parallel with floor. Bend to one side to find natural indentation in torso. This is your natural waist.
Hips
Wrap tape around the fullest part of your hips, which is usually 7-9" below your natural waistline. Keep tape parallel with floor all the way around.
Hollow to Hem
When taking this measurement, stand straight with your feet together.
Hold the measuring tape at your hollow while a friend pulls it down to the length you want your dress.
Armscye
In order to take your armscye measurement, you must wrap the measuring tape over the top of your shoulder and around under your armpit.
Sleeve Length
Measure from your shoulder seam to desired sleeve length with your arm relaxed by your side to get the best possible measurement.
