Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take my own measurements?

Taking accurate measurements is an extremely important step in the design process.  We have included simple directions to follow below:

  1. Bust: Measure around the circumference over the fullest part of the bust, usually across the nipple.

  2. Waist: Measure around the smallest part of your waist, about 1 to 2 inches above your belly button.

  3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

If you feel unsure about taking your own measurements, we recommend seeking a professional seamstress to help with this step.
