Around bust at fullest point. |
 |
Waist：___________ |
 |
Hips:___________ |
| Around waist at smallest point. Let's start by tying a ribbon or piece of string around the natural waist, which would be around your torso at the smallest point. Leave the string in place while you do the rest of the measurements. You will need it for reference for some of the other measurements. |
Around hips at fullest point, taking note of how far down from the waist that you are measuring. |
 |
Shoulder to Shoulder：___________ |
 |
Upper bust：___________ |
| Now from the edge of that shoulder socket, measure all the way over to the same point on the other shoulder along the back. |
Measure above your breasts in the same manner as you measured across them. |
 |
Under bust：___________ |
 |
Nipple to nipple：___________ |
| Measure under your breasts in the same manner as you measured over them. |
Bust point to bust point. Okay, technically, nipple to nipple. |
 |
Length of Shoulder to bust:_____ |

Front Length Shoulder to Waist: ___ |

Remember that point on your shoulder. Well use that again and measure from there OVER your bust straight down to the ribbon on your waist. |
 |
Outer Leg：___________ |
 |
Armhole：___________ |
| From waist to floor WITH your shoes on. |
This measurement gives me 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. |

Points to Remember
ShopForLover cannot assume responsibility for the size ordered or the measurements taken. The customer is responsible for the size they order.
ShopForLover cannot suggest a specific size.
We suggest having a friend, family member, or professional seamstress/ tailor take your measurements for the best results. We do not recommend customers take their measurements.
It's best to be measured wearing the exact undergarments,slip,and shoes you'll be wearing the day of the wedding or event.
Designers use the English Standard System for all measurements and sizes.
Designers determine their sizes by the bust,waist,and hip measurements. See the following for measuring tips!
Taking the Bust Measurement
1. Stand straight with your heels together and arms down at your side.
2. Position the measuring tape so that it covers the widest part of your back and the fullest part of your bust.
3. Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not pull it tight.
Taking the Waist Measurement
1. Standing straight, bend to your side. The bend is your natural waist.
2. Stand straight and keep your heels together.
3. Place the measuring tape around your natural waist.
4. Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not pull it tight.
Taking the Hip Measurement
1. Stand straight with your heels together and arms down at your side.
2. Position the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips.
3. Keep your thumb behind the tape and do not pull it tight.
Hollow to Hem
The Hollow to Hem measurement determines a specific length for the gown to be made. This measurement is suggested for heights under or over 5'8". It is very important to wear the exact undergarments, slip,and shoes as the day of the wedding or event as this will affect the accuracy of the measurement. When selecting Hollow to Hem on the order form, please indicate the measurement in the space provided. Provide the measurement in whole inches.Half inches are not accepted.Availability and fees are dependent on each designer.
Stand straight and face forward with your arms at your sides.
Place the tape measure 1/4 below the hollow or depression of your neck and measure to the waist following the shape of your body.
Measure from the waist to where you want the finished hem to fall following the shape of the slip.
Place the measuring tape 1/4 below the hollow of the neck and measure to the approximate finished hem.If this measurement does not equal the total of the previous two measurements,repeat all three measurements until the measurements agree.
Extra Length
Designers make their dresses with a standard Hollow to Hem measurement. This standard measurement varies between designers but normally is 5' 8"; Hollow to Hem. Designers recommend considering extra length if you're taller than 5' 8" with the heel height you'll wear with the gown. Extra length is typically 1"to 6" longer and will vary between designers. Availability and fees are dependent on each designer.
Once you've taken your measurements, see the selected designer in Size Charts under Tailor's Advice. The designer's size chart shows the measurements they use to make each size. Compare your measurements to the size chart to determine the size to order. Gowns are not custom made according to your measurements and will run differently than normal street clothes.Most gowns will need some type of alterations.
If your measurements indicate different sizes for the bust,waist,and hip measurements, designers generally suggest ordering according to the largest measurement.Gowns can be taken-in,but due to the modest seam allowance in the gowns,there may not be enough fabric to release to the size needed. |
