For Bespoke custom tailored lingerie

In order to get an accurate measurement, take a natural and relaxed standing body posture and don't lean out while using the cloth tape measure, you may need another person to assist you for a more accurate result. Also measure yourself on your bare skin, not over clothes. Make sure that when you circle your chest, underchest, waist or hips, the measuring tape is level and neither too tight nor too loose. The figure below depicts the appropriate locations to wrap the tape around for measuring the different areas of your body.
