In this video blog, "Taking Your Measurements: Part 1", Genealogy Boutique and Formals will begin teaching you how to take your measurements to ensure your gown fits your figure to a tee!Taking your own measurements will almost always result in inaccuracies. Recruit a friend, family member, or, for the best results, a professional seamstress to take your measurements. It is important that you only use a standard cloth measuring tape. Pull the tape snuggly, but not too tight; it should only be tight enough to stay in place. Be sure to dress in fitted clothing, such as leggings and a tank, so that the measuring tape can get as close to your actual body as possible. You don't want excess baggy clothing to throw off your results. It's best to be measured wearing the exact undergarments, slip, and shoes you'll be wearing to your event. Designers determine their size by the bust, waist, and hip measurements. Some will also include a "Hollow to Hem" measurement; this is the measurement from the base, or hollow, of the neck to the bottom of the hem. First, we are going to take the bust measurement. 1. Stand straight with your heels together and your arms down at your side. 2. Position the measuring tape so that it covers the widest part of your back and the fullest part of your bust. 3. For more accurate results, place your thumb or finger beneath the tape measure when taking bust measurement.Each part is critical when it comes to having that perfect fit, so don't miss Part 2, where we show you how to take your waist measurement.To read more on how to take your measurement accurately, check out our detailed "Measuring Instructions" page:http://www.efcsite.com/manufcols/misc/measureins/998.htm
