How to take measurements

Before You Start

To help us create an item that fits your body as accurately as possible, please take your measurements carefully before placing your order. Accurate measurements are very important because each item is made individually based on the information you provide.

You will need:

A soft measuring tape
A mirror
Thin clothing or underwear
Help from another person

We recommend that you do not take your measurements by yourself. For the best result, please ask another person to help you, especially when measuring the shoulders, bust, waist, hips, and garment length.

Important Measuring Tips

Stand straight and relaxed while taking your measurements. Do not hold your breath, pull in your stomach, or tense your body.

The measuring tape should lie flat against the body. It should not be twisted, loose, or pulled too tightly.

Please take your measurements while wearing thin clothing or underwear. Do not measure over bulky clothing, as this may add extra centimeters or inches and affect the final fit.

For accuracy, we recommend measuring each area twice. If the numbers are different, please measure again.

Please clearly indicate the unit you are using: centimeters or inches.

Measurements We Need

1. Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should go horizontally around your body, across your back and the fullest part of your bust at the front.

Bust measurement

2. Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist. This is usually slightly above the belly button. Do not pull in your stomach and do not tighten the tape too much.

Waist measurement

3. Hips

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. The tape should stay straight and level around the body.

4. Shoulder to Bust

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to the fullest point of your bust. The tape should go vertically down the front of the body.

Shoulder to bust measurement

5. Shoulder to Waist

Measure from the highest point of your shoulder down to your waistline, passing over the fullest part of your bust. This helps us determine the correct fit of the upper part of the item.

6. Upper Arm

Relax your arm and measure around the fullest part of your upper arm. The tape should sit close to the body but should not squeeze the arm.

7. Skirt or Item Length

Measure from your waistline down to the desired length of the item. If the item should be floor length, measure from the waistline to the floor.

If you plan to wear the item with heels, please also provide the heel height separately. This will help us determine the correct final length.

8. Height

Please provide your full height from the top of your head to the floor. Measure your height without shoes, standing straight against a wall.
