Whether shopping and/or especially when ordering a custom made item proper measurements are essential
So grab a friend
Never measure yourself…
Stand straight and stop holding in the stomach!
Measure, to the closest 1/4 inch.
Wear proper undergarments
TIP: when going shopping or a fitting wear leggings and a fitted camisole/top for convenient “try-on”
