📏 Measuring Tips:
  • Wear the undergarments you plan to wear with your garments.
  • Stand straight but relaxed.
  • Keep the tape snug but not tight.
  • Use the same measurements for bodice, sleeves, pants, and skirt so all pieces will work together as a set.
  • Have a friend help you take measurements for the most accurate results.
