Bust |
Not 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/Waist |
This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's an inch or so above your belly button. |
| Hip |
This is the widest part of your hips, across the hip bone. |
| Hollow to Hem |
This is a standard industry term. Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck/from shoulder and measure through the top of your bustpoint 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 are 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. |
| 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. |
| Shoulder to Waist |
From top of the shoulder through your nipple to waist. |
