1. Chest/Bust. Measure around the fullest part<br />
of the chest/bust. This measurement should<br />
be taken beneath your armpits, around the<br />
widest part of your chest and shoulder<br />
blades. Make sure to keep the tape measure<br />
horizontal, and don't pull to tight or hold your<br />
breath while measuring.<br />
2. Sleeve. Bend your elbow and put your hand<br />
on your hip. Ask your friend to measure from<br />
middle of back of your neck, around shoulder<br />
and elbow to wrist bone.<br />
3. Waist. Put the tape around your natural<br />
waistline, which should be close to your<br />
bellybutton. Put one finger between the tape<br />
and your body before you measure.<br />
4. Hips. Measure around the hips, normally in<br />
line where the belt would fit.<br />
5. Back waist length. Measure from the most<br />
prominent bone at base of neck to the<br />
natural waistline.<br />
Note: Please take EXACT measures, as our<br />
patterns allow for ease of<br />
movement.<br />
