How to Measure? |
we understand the demands in
purchasing a dress without trying in on. If you use our
measuring guidelines and size charts and a little common
sense, it is very easy to make an informed decision
USE A PROFESSIONAL
First of all, the information we provide are just
guidelines and not hard fast rules. Different dress styles
and body types may make these guidelines insufficient.
Secondly, we suggest having a professional
seamstress/tailor in your area take your measurements.
Since sizing is not an exact science and alterations will
most likely be necessary, establishing a relationship with
a seamstress will help in your quest for a proper fit. If
this is not possible, please have someone besides yourself
take the measurements.
Last but not least, the final decision and responsibility
on what size to order is up to you.
 Designers
determine their sizes by the bust, waist, and hip
measurements. See the following for measuring tips!
Taking the Bust Measurement
- Stand straight with your heels together and
arms down at your side.
- Position the measuring tape so that it
covers the widest part of your back and the
fullest part of your bust.
- Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not
pull it tight.
|
Taking the Waist Measurement
- Standing straight, bend to your side. The
bend is your natural waist.
- Stand straight and keep your heels together.
- Place the measuring tape around your natural
waist.
- Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not
pull it tight.
|
Taking the Hip Measurement
- Stand straight with your heels together and
arms down at your side.
- Position the measuring tape around the
widest part of your hips.
- Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not
pull it tight
