A wedding dress with the ideal size is crucial in enhancing your appeal. First, don’ t consider taking an exact measurement for your body to be difficult or time-consuming. You can ask a seamstress for help. Or just do this with your friend within minutes. Follow us and you will know how to accurately measure for your wedding dress below.
Part 1: Measure for Standard Wedding Dresses
Bust: take the tape around your back and bring it across your nipple line, which typically refers to the fullest part of your breast. Remember to take the size of your bust, rather than your bra.
Waist: measure the part an inch above your belly button, which is the smallest part of your waist.
Hip: take the tape around the widest part of your hips. It’ s 7 inches or so below your natural waistline.
Height: stand upright and keep your feet together. Let the tape across your bust in the front and drop naturally.
Length of Your Dress: take the tape from the top to the hemline of the gown you desire.
Part 2: Measure for Maternity Wedding Dresses
Upper Bust: measure the highest part of your chest directly under the arms. When you take this measurement, make sure your arms are relaxed, down at your sides please.
Bust: Take the tape around your back and bring it across your nipple line (typically the fullest part of the breast). Remember that your bust size is not your bra size!
Under Bust: measure underneath the breasts (around the chest).
Around Belly: Measure around the fullest part of your belly. Make sure to keep the tape a little loose for comfort. Consider how long later you will wear the dress. This helps you to determine the right dress size as your belly is growing.
Hip: take the tape around the widest part of your hips. It’ s 7 inches or so below your natural waistline.
Height: stand upright and keep your feet together. Let the tape across your bust in the front and drop naturally.
Length of Your Dress: take the tape from the top to the hemline of the gown you desire.
Part 3: Measure for Your Bridal Jacket or Mini Wraps
Shoulder to shoulder: Stand upright and keep your arms relaxed, down at your side. Measure your shoulder width from the back.
Bust: Take the tape around your back and bring it across your nipple line (typically the fullest part of the breast). Remember that your bust size is not your bra size!
Arm Length: Take the tape from your shoulder point to the wrist.
Biceps: Measure around the widest part of your upper arm to get accurate sleeve sizes.
While taking the measurement, make sure your arms are always relaxed and down at your sides. To make sure your wedding dress will ideally flatter your body shape, it’ s much wiser to send the dealer or tailor an exact measurement for your figure than to choose a regular size. Good luck to you.
