Measurement Tips for Set 1
Bust - Not your bra size! Take the tape around your back and bring it across the fullest part of your bust. Your arms should be relaxed, down at your sides. You must wear a bra when taking this measurement.

Waist - This is the smallest part of your waist. Typically it's an inch or so above your belly button. Also known as the natural waistline.

Hips - This is the widest part of your hips, across the hipbone. Measurement is taken approximately 7 inches below the natural waistline. Stand with your heels together and standing up tall.

Natural Height - Your height from head to toe. No shoes on for this one.

Hollow to hem - Start the tape at the hollow at the base of your neck and measure down to where you want the hem.

Also, be sure you are wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day. Make sure you have someone help you with this one and ensure you are looking straight ahead (not at the floor). This measurement is very important as it sets the hem length for your gown.

Bust Points - This is the length between your nipples while wearing a bra similar to the one you'll wear on the big day.
