TO ENSURE THAT THE DRESS FITS PERFECTLY, IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS. HERE ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO TAKE THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS OF A DRESS.
SHOULDERS
MEASURE THE SPACE BETWEEN YOUR SHOULDER POINTS. POSITION THE END OF THE TAPE FLAT AGAINST YOUR BACK AT THE FIRST SHOULDER POINT. YOU SHOULD BE MEASURING ACROSS THE BROADEST PART OF YOUR SHOULDERS WHICH USUALLY LANDS OUT ROUGHLY TO 1 TO 2 INCHES (2.5CM TO 5CM) BELOW THE NECKLINE.
CHEST
MEASURE UNDER ARMS AROUND THE FULLEST PART OF THE BUST. BE SURE TO KEEP TAPE LEVEL ACROSS BACK AND COMFORTABLY LOOSE.
WAIST
TO TAKE THE WAIST MEASUREMENT, WRAP A MEASURING TAPE AROUND THE NARROWEST PART OF YOUR WAIST, USUALLY AN INCH OR TWO ABOVE THE BELLY BUTTON. MAKE SURE THE TAPE IS SNUG BUT NOT TOO TIGHT.
HIPS
MEASURE THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR HIPS. START AT ONE HIP AND WRAP THE TAPE MEASURE AROUND YOUR REAR, AROUND THE OTHER HIP, AND BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED. MAKE SURE THE TAPE IS OVER THE LARGEST PART OF YOUR HIPS.
SHIRT LENGTH
START FROM THE TOP OF YOUR SHOULDERS AND MEASURE VERTICALLY TILL YOUR DESIRED LENGTH.
BLOUSE LENGTH
TO TAKE THE LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF THE BLOUSE, MEASURE FROM THE BASE OF YOUR NECK TO THE DESIRED LENGTH OF THE BLOUSE. THIS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
SLEEVE LENGTH
TO TAKE THE SLEEVE LENGTH MEASUREMENT, MEASURE FROM THE SHOULDER TO THE DESIRED LENGTH OF THE SLEEVE. THIS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
LEHENGA LENGTH
TO TAKE THE LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF THE LEHENGA, STAND UP STRAIGHT AND MEASURE FROM YOUR WAIST TO THE DESIRED LENGTH OF THE LEHENGA. THIS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR HEIGHT AND PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
IMPORTANT NOTE
IT IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE HELP YOU WITH THE MEASUREMENTS, AS IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO TAKE THEM ACCURATELY ON YOUR OWN. WITH ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT YOUR PAKISTANI BRIDAL LEHENGA WILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND FIT YOU COMFORTABLY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.
