How to Measure Yourself

Getting accurate measurements is crucial for your custom gown. Follow this guide carefully, and have someone help you for the best results.

Women's Measurement Guide

1. Bust Circumference

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

2. Waist Circumference

Measure around your natural waistline (the narrowest part of your torso).

3. Hip Circumference

Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Stand with feet together.

4. Front Skirt Length

From your natural waist down to where you want the hem to fall. Typically 47 inches for formal gowns.

5. Front Top Edge & Back Top Edge

Measurements for the neckline opening to ensure proper fit across the bust line and back.

6. Front Armhole (Scye)

Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where the armhole ends.

Pro Tips for Accurate Measurements

  • ✓ Have someone else measure you
  • ✓ Wear form-fitting undergarments
  • ✓ Stand naturally with good posture
  • ✓ Use a fabric measuring tape
  • ✓ Measure twice to confirm accuracy
  • ✓ Take measurements at your widest/narrowest points

THE PRECISION: Every piece is engineered with exactness, from the 1/2 Front Top Edge to the meticulously calculated Front Armhole.
