For taking the measurements, use a good quality measuring tape which is sturdy and
will not stretch. The metal end of the tape should be used for vertical measurements and the
other end for horizontal and circumference measurements. The measurements should be
taken over a smooth fitting foundation garment and never over bulky garments. Before taking
measurements, tie a cord or string around the waist. Next, take ¼” wide tape and cast it
around your armhole. This will make it easier to measure width of shoulders, arm depth
etc. Stand erect with the arms hanging straight at the sides while measurements are being
made by some one else. Take snug measurements rather that tight or loose ones. Hold the
tape parallel to the floor for horizontal measurements, and perpendicular to the floor for
vertical measurements. As the measurements are taken, record them in a note book or laptop or tablet computer.
