Measuring Guidelines and Size Chart
A. Bust - The bust measurement is taken by placing the tape measure over the back, underneath the arms and then over the highest point on the bust. Do not pull the tape measure too tight. This should be an exact measurement, not too tight and not too loose.
B. Waist - Here it is very important to measure your true waist size, and not to pull the tape measure too tight. You should be able to slip two fingers between the tape and your waist. C. Hip - The hip measurement is taken over the widest part of the hips. Do not pull the tape measure too tight. This should be an exact measurement, not too tight and not too loose. |

D. Arm Length - Bend your arm slightly (as shown in the figure). Measure from the shoulderseam, down over the elbow, to the wrist.
E. Back Width from Shoulder to Shoulder - Measure from the left shoulder seam area (as shown) to the right shoulder seam area. F. Back Waist Length - This measurement is taken from the bone at the base of the neck down to your natural waist line. This measurement is very important when making a garment with a fitted waist or seam at the waist. G. Back to Hip Length - This measurement is taken from the bone at the base of the neck down to your natural hip line. |
