GARMENT__________________________________________________________
Please have friend measure you in your underwear or tight clothing with a "sewing/cloth" measuring tape in inches. Do not do this yourself, for it distorts the true measurements. Check drawing below for corresponding numbers to measurements needed.
- #1 Bust
- The fullest point of the chest/bust. For women, must be wearing a bra for cups B and higher._______________
- #3 Side length of Chest
- Measuring from armpit, down side to waist, with arm down. This measurement insures that the armhole or top of Corset does not cut into your underarm._______________
- #4 Natural Waist
- Where the body bends from side to side, not necessarily where garment waists lie. Best thing to do is tie a string or piece of elastic in smallest part and let that be your guide. _______________
- #6 Waist to top of Corset or Bodice
- For Corset, press on breast to simulate support and measure from waist to 1" above nipple: For Bodice or Tudor Corsets, in Bra, measure from waist #4 to nipple or fullest point of bust #1. _______________
- #7 Waist to Waist over Shoulder
- This is where a should bag would hang. Measure from front side waist, up over the shoulder to same side back waist._______________
- #12 Shoulder to Shoulder
- From bone at top of arm/shoulder, across front to other bone on top of arm/shoulder. Where a T-shirt's sleeve seam is .________

For other Garments & a better sense of what you look like
- #13 Nape of Neck to Waist
- Back of neck, bend head and feel bone at neck base, straighten head and measure from there to natural waist.________
- #24 Bra & Cup Size
- Around chest under bust, where bra sits and cup size.________
- #25 Desired Waist Size
- This is for Corsets and Bodices: Tudor Styles waist and bust are 2-3 inches smaller than natural measurements; For Eleanor and Titania Corset, it is recommended decreasing waist 2-3 inches for first time wearers, 4-6 inches for the experienced "trained" tight lacers. Please be careful and reasonable, you can hurt yourself if you are not realistic._______
- #26 Amount of Fitted or Squish to Garment
- For many Garments, they can squish or cinch you in or be snugger that usual. Please let us know if how much of this desirable for you, i.e. loose, fitted, tight, very tight, etc.________
To help get a really good mental picture of you:
- #28 Height_______
