Dress Measuring Video Guide
Our Tips
- Measure with underwear when measuring.
- Do not measure over other clothing.
- Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the floor and pulled evenly across the body with no slack.
- We suggest you go to a local tailor shop to get professionally measured.
Bust
- This is not your bra size.
- Wear a bra.
- Relax arms at sides.
- Pull tape across the fullest part of the bust.
Waist
- Find the natural waist.
- This is the smallest part of the waist.
- Usually about 1 in. above belly button.
- Keep tape slightly loose to allow for breathing room.
Hips
- Find the widest part of the hips.
- Usually about 7 in. below natural waist.
- Tape should brush across both hipbones.
Hollow to Floor (Bare Foot)
- Stand straight with feet together.
- Measure in bare feet.
- Begin at the hollow space between the collarbones and pull tape straight down to the floor.
- To fit high heels, we’ll add an extra 5 cm onto customized floor-length dresses and dresses with trains.
