Measurement Guide

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.


Height

  • Stand straight with feet together.
  • Measure in bare feet.
  • Begin at the top of the head and pull tape straight down to the floor.


Shoulder Width

  • From the edge of the shoulder socket, measure across the back to the same point on the other shoulder.


Arm Length

  • Measure from your shoulder point to the wrist.


Armhole

  • Measure from the top of the shoulder, down the front of the shoulder, under the arm pit, and up the back of the shoulder.


Wrist Circumference

  • Measure the width across the widest part of your wrist.
