Dress Form Buyer’s Guide

MEASURING BODY

When measuring, hold the tape comfortably and not too tight around the body. This will ensure a comfortable fit.

Measuring Chest (Bust)
To measure the chest, make sure to stand straight with your feet together. Now, lightly hold the tape from your chest to your under arm and straight across the back.

Measuring Waist
Stand naturally without tucking in your stomach. Place the tape around the waist directly over the ribbon. Firmly measure the waistline but not tightly by leaving one finger under the tape.

Measuring Hips
While standing with your feet positioned close together, find the widest measurement of the hip line which is around 7 to 9 inches below your waistline.

Measuring Inseam
Lightly hold the tape to measure along the inside leg from crotch to the bottom hem of the pants or trousers.

Measuring Sleeve Length
Measure from center back neck to shoulder point and down the outside of the arm to the wrist while your arms are relaxed at your sides and are slightly bent.
