How to Measure for Leanne's

Custom Made Dresses

I will need a few simple measurements when making you a custom made dress. It is easier, and more accurate to have someone measure you. If that is not possible, use a dress you already have that fits you right and measure it. If you don't have any dresses yet, you can measure yourself standing in front of a full length mirror.

Measurements should be taken over your under garments, and whatever else you will be wearing under the dress. The measuring tape should not be held too tight. You should be able to slip two fingers under the tape when measuring around the bust and waist. Please give the measurements that you would be comfortable wearing when the dress is finished. Correct measurements are very important - You can always wear a dress that is too big, but you cannot wear one that is too small. Your dress will only fit as accurate as the measurements you give me. Please measure in inches.

***Since every body is different, I do not need your height and weight.

1.Neck -- Measure around the base of the neck

2.Bust/Chest -- Around the fullest part under the arms

(Not your bra size!)

3.Waist -- Around the fullest part

4.Hips -- Around the fullest part.

5.Skirt length -- Waist to desired skirt length

6.Full length -- This measurement is determined by adding the back and skirt lengths together.

7.Back to waist -- Start at the top in the middle of the shoulder and measure down the back to the desired bodice length.

8.Sleeve length -- Armpit to desired sleeve length.

9.Sleeve end for elastic -- Around the arm at the same length.
