How Do I Measure Myself For A Dress - Anna Skoblikova

How do I measure myself for a dress

– Why accurate measurements are important: Custom-made dresses fit better than standard-size ones. To achieve the perfect fit, it’s important to take all measurements carefully, not just rely on your usual size.

– How to take your measurements: For best results, please ask a relative or friend to help you. This will make the process easier and more accurate.

– What you will need: a) A measuring tape; b) An elastic band

– What to wear while taking measurements Please take measurements wearing the same underwear you plan to wear with your dress, including a bra, shaping underwear, and tights if needed. If your dress has an open back and you won’t be wearing a bra, please take measurements without a bra.

– Important notes before measuring Gently tie an elastic band around your waist at the narrowest point. All calculations will be based on this line.

– Final step Please include your height and send 22 photos of your figure, taken exactly according to our example (1:1). These 22 photos allow us to clearly see your body proportions and spot any possible measurement inaccuracies. This helps us adjust and correct measurements without asking you to re-measure, saving your time. With these 22 photos, we can ensure that your dress will fit you perfectly.
