Measuring Yourself at Home

 

Ensuring the perfect fit for your gown is essential. Before purchasing, we recommend carefully taking your measurements. 

We recommend measuring yourself with a soft measuring tape in centimeters. 

It is best to wear tight clothing and stand with feet flat on the floor looking straight ahead.

Ensure the measuring tape is firm but not too tight. You should be able to slide a single finger under the tape measure. You want the garment to be comfortable, not restricting.

Follow these simple steps to accurately measure your bust, waist and hips with a soft measuring tape. 

1. Bust Measurement: 

• Wear a well-fitted bra
• Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensure it meets across your nipples or the center of your breast.

2. Waist Measurement: 

• Wrap the measuring tape around the smallest part of your waist, typically an inch or two above your belly button. 
• Wrap the tape around your waist without holding your breath or sucking in your stomach 

3. Hips Measurement: 

• Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips, typically at the largest part of your buttocks.

 
4. Waist to Hem: 

• Place the measuring tape at your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso 
• Let the measuring tape drop straight down to the floor 
• Ensure the tape is perpendicular to the floor and not twisted
