A - Bust - Measure the bust at the

fullest part. Measure all around the


body (total circumference).

B - Waist - Measure the waist where the


body bends. It helps to bend side to
side to identify exactly where to
measure. You can put an elastic band
around the waist to mark the correct
placement.

C - Hip - Measure the hips at the fullest


part, usually around the seat.

D - High Hip - Measure around the


fullest part, about 3 - 4" below the
waist. This is helpful when fitting a slim
skirt or pants (to get an accurate idea of
the shape of the hip, or the belly).

E - Front Waist Length - Start at the


shoulder (right next to the base of the
neck), and measure to the waist,
measuring over the fullest part of the
bust.

F - Back Waist Length - Measure from


the base of the neck (in the center, not
the side), to the center of the waistline.

G - Arm Length - Measure from the top


of the arm (find the bone at the
shoulder/top of arm) to the wrist (find
the bone at the side of the wrist), WITH
THE ELBOW BENT. It's important to
keep the elbow bent to allow for
movement when you make a sleeve.
