How to Measure for a Dress

Here’s a quick guide to taking accurate measurements for a well-fitting dress:

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, ensuring the tape is level across the back.
Waist: Wrap the tape around the narrowest part of the waist (usually above the belly button).
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips, typically around the buttocks area.
Neck: Wrap the tape around the neck’s base; this helps when selecting collared dresses.
Shoulders: Measure from one shoulder tip to the other across the back.
Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder down to the desired dress length.

Use a flexible tape measure for comfort.
Take measurements over undergarments for more accuracy.
Don’t pull the tape too tight; it should be snug but not restrictive.
Consider your body shape when choosing sizes, especially for fitted dresses.
