1 - Full Bust - Measure around your body, crossing over the fullest part of the bust.


2 - Waist - Firstly tie a piece of ribbon or string around the natural part of your waist. This would be your torso at the smallest point. Leave the string in place while you do the rest of your measurements as you will need it for reference with some of the other measurements.


3 - Hips - Take the measurement around the hips at the fullest point, take note of how far down from the waist that you are measuring.


4 - Upper Bust - Stand, measure around your body above the fullest part of the bust via your armpit.
