How to take Your Measurements for Your Wedding Dress.

How do you take measurements for your wedding dress?

If you are buying your wedding dress online you need to take your measurements accurately. You don’t need to be a dress maker to measure yourself but you will need a friend to help. Follow these few easy steps and you will have professional standard measurements in no time.

There are many different size charts available but it’s best to ignore them when ordering your wedding dress online. Watch our FREE video  How to take Your Wedding Dress Measurements for  full step by step video instructions and fill out your Personal Measurement Chart before taking your measurements and ordering your wedding dress.

Don’t worry about the numbers. The worst thing you can do is wear a dress that is too tight. A properly fitting dress is always more flattering than one you squeeze into for the sake of a size label.

  1. Get a friend to take the measurements for you, it isn’t possible to do it accurately by yourself.
  2. Don’t pull the tape measure too tight- it should rest lightly on your body.
  3. Make sure you use inches OR centimetres not a mixture of both.
  4. Write each measurement down as you take it
  5. Once you have taken your measurements start again and check each one.
