To get the perfect fit for your custom-made dance dress, taking accurate measurements is crucial. Follow the steps below, and remember: the better the measurements, the better the fit!
What to Wear:
How to Measure:
Wear fitted clothing like a swimsuit, crop top, or leggings.
Use a flexible measuring tape made of cloth or plastic.
Stand straight, with your muscles relaxed, and don’t hold your breath.
Keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight, ensuring it stays close to your body without pinching the skin.
Front View:
Stand straight with your feet hipwidth apart.
Keep your arms relaxed by your side.
Ensure your body is visible from head to toe.
This position helps to measure overall height, shoulder width, chest, waist, and hip circumference.
Side View:
Turn sideways with one shoulder
Stand straight with your arms naturally at your sides.
Keep your entire side profile visible.
This position is important for measuring the depth of your bust, waist, and hips.
Double check your measurements for accuracy, as alterations can be costly.
For accurate measurements, maintain a neutral posture and avoid slouching or stretching. These positions ensure proper body proportions are captured for a well-fitting custom dress.
