A GUIDE TO TAKING MEASUREMENTS:
The best way is that all measurements are taken without your normal clothing (only on underwear), or just a very thin and tight (stretch) garment as chemise or leotard. To ensure a precise measurement, you will need to wear the actual undergarments you will be wearing with the planned garment. The shoes will be important to ensure the correct length and posture. To avoid non-correct readings of your measurements, you should ask for support by a second person. Please take extra care to ensure accuracy. Also, make sure the tape measure is held snugly and firmly (not tightly) against your body and is always parallel to the floor for circumference measurements. It is important to keep your back straight during the measuring.
1
Bust -measure around the body at the fullest part of bust and straight across back. Do not allow the tape to fall at the back.
2
Chest - measure around the body above the bust and under arms, tight but enough for breathing.
3
Waist - around the body at natural waistline.
4
Hips - around body at fullest part approx.20cm below waist.
