How To Measure |
Results |
|
Bust |
Not to be confused with your bra size. Take the tape around your back and bring it across your nipple line (typically the fullest part of the breast). Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. |
|
|
Natural Waist |
This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's an inch or so above your belly button. |
|
|
Hips |
This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. |
|
|
Hollow to Hem |
This is a standard industry term. Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck and measure down to where you want the hem. If your skirt will be full, be sure to measure out at an angle to allow for the fullness. Also, be sure you’re wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day. |
|
|
Low Hip |
Find your Natural Waist and then measure around your hips 7 inches below that. |
|
|
Inside Sleeve |
Start the tape in your armpit and measure your straight arm to the wrist. |
|
|
Arm Girth |
Relax your arm and measure around the largest part of the upper arm. |
|
|
Centre Back |
This is the measurement from shoulder blade to shoulder blade. |
|
|
Waist to Hem |
Measure from your Natural Waist to where you want the hem to be. Be sure you’re wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day. |
|
|
Hollow to Waist |
Measure from the base of the neck at the back to the Natural Waist. |
