Measurements Instructions for Wedding Dress&BM Dresses

 

Measuring Instructions

Measurements can be taken either in inch or cm 

Full Bust        

Measure around the fullest part of the bust    

Waist               
Firstly tie a piece of ribbon or string around the natural part of your
waist. This would be your torso at the smallest point. Leave the string
in place while you do the rest of your measurements as you will need
it for reference with some of the other measurements

Hips                 

Take the measurement around the hips at the fullest point, take note of how far down from the waist that you are measuring.

Upper bust:       

Measure above your breast as shown in the diagram.

Udder bust:        

Measure under the breast as shown in the diagram. 

Nipple to nipple: 

Measure across the bust nipple to nipple.

Length of Should to bust:    

Measure from the top of your shoulder to the nipple.

Front Length Shoulder to Waist    

Measuring from the same point on your shoulder, go down over the top
of your nipple to the waist.

Outer Leg        

Measure from the string/ribbon around your waist to the floor.  Please ensure you have a shoe similar in height to those you intend to wear on your wedding day.

Arms eye        

This measurement gives us the size of the sleeve hole that you are comfortable wearing.  This measurement is entirely subjective and you can make it as deep or as tight as you are comfortable with. 

Shoulder to Shoulder   

From the edge of the shoulder socket, measure all the way over to the same point on the other shoulder along the back, as shown in the diagram.
 

Neck       

Measure loosely around the neck.  You will not need this measurement unless your garment has a high neck or collar.

Arm Length      


Measure from your shoulder point to the wrist. Also give measurement with your elbow bend, should be about an inch longer.

Biceps          

Position your arm as the diagram, now measure the fullest part of the
arm.

Upper arm length       

Measure from the outer shoulder down to the elbow .

Length of armpit to elbow:    

Measure the outside of your arm from the armpit to the elbow

Shoulder to Floor:    

Measure from the your shoulder to the hem of where you want
your dress to come to. Stand very straight when taking this measurement. Please take your high heels into account.

If you dress is sleeveless, some measurements like arm length is unnecessary.

SHOULDER TO HEM: 60 INCHES 

Several Tips on sizing:
 
A- Bust: Measure over the fullest part of your bust
 
B-Waist: Measure around your natural waistline 1-2 inches above your belly button, which is the smallest part on your waistline; keep the measuring tape snug but not tight.
 
C- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, 8" below your waist (pettie, 7").
Take the numbers and match to the size in chart above
 
Other things you should know...
1. All of these dresses are 60" hollow to hem (base of neck to floor).

2. Nearly 99% of our customers need some type of alterations.

3. Any gown that is too long may easily be hemmed by your local seamstress.

4. Straps may need to be adjusted. Often with those that are "busty", there is a need to remove the cups that are already included in the gown to allow for the bust to be correct.

5. Gowns are made to the measurements in the size chart. You need to pick the largest of your three measurements.

6. Always around your measurements up! If your waist measurement is 25 inches, a gown with a 24.5 inches will be half inches small, and may not zip.
