BUST: The bust measurement is taken at the fullest part of the bust. This is different from your bra size. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and measure around the fullest part of the back and bust.
WAIST: The waist measurement is taken at the natural waistline. This is not same as the waist measurement on jeans. Place the tape measure around the smallest part of the waist. Do not breathe in!
HIPS: The hip measurement is taken approximately 8" lower than the waistline. Place the tape around the fullest part of the hip and bottom area.
HEIGHT: Most dresses are cut to fit bridesmaids up to 5'9". If you are taller or planning to wear heeled shoes, consider ordering extra length to ensure the dress is the correct length.
