measure a dress that fits you perfectly

Pick a dress that fits you perfectly or very well and use this guide to measure. Please provide additional notes if any adjustments are needed.

Important Notes: 1) Smooth (iron) out any wrinkles and place the dress on a flat & hard surface.  2) Don't stretch the tape. 3) All measurements are in Inches 4) Remember to "multiply by 2" for all applicable measurements (Bicep, Arm Hole, Chest, Bust, Waist and Hip. 5) Measure twice! If you don’t get the same measurement both times try again. 6) Use a flexible tape measure at least 60″ long. Don’t use a standard 12″ plastic/wooden ruler.
