Tips: Write down your measurements. Keep them handy. You’ll need them!
- Wrap measuring tape around your body snuggly, but don’t pull it tight!
- Don’t suck in your stomach.
- The better you measure, the better your dress will fit, but always plan on alterations!

Measure around the fullest part of your chest over the bra cups.
Tip: Keep arms relaxed!Waist:
Measure around the narrowest part of your body.
Tip: Measure just above your belly button.Hips:
Measure around the fullest part of your lower body.
Tip: Stand with your feet together.
Under 5”3’’: Measure 6” below your waistline
Over 5’4”: Measure 7″ below your waistline.Step Two: Check the size chart when you pick any dress!
