How to Measure for your Wedding Dress or Gown
If a Wedding is in your future, and you are stumped about a wedding dress, then at least know your measurements, so that you can go window shopping or shop online.
More and more stores are going online, and its important that you have an idea of your measurements before you order. You don’t want to be wasting too much time, with a back and forth mail order. Give yourself plenty of time to do a search, but for right now, you need to figure out your measurements and size.
Here is a simple guide to go by, for measuring yourself for a wedding dress. Wedding dresses are measured slightly different, for example, length measurements are taken from the “clavicle”.. (bet you didn’t know what that was!). It is the hollow in the base of your neck.
MEASUREMENTS
Stand comfortably with equal weight on both feet and arms resting easily at sides.
?
1 BUST
Measure around the fullest part of the bust, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor, this is better done by another person, to prevent the tape from slipping and getting a more accurate measurement..
?
2 WAIST
Measure the natural waistline.
?
3 HIP
Measure 8-10″ below the waist to find the fullest hip. Measure the fullest part of the hip, keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor, best done by another person..
?
4 LENGTH
Dress lengths are taken from the bottom of the clavicle hollow at the front of the neck to the bottom of the hem of the dress.
Skirt lengths without waistbands are taken from the center of the back, starting at the finished edge of the skirt.
Skirt lengths with waistbands are taken from the center back, starting at the bottom waistband seam.
