For Garment Measurements:

When the material is stretchy, we always measure in a relaxed, or "unstretched" state, unless otherwise noted.
(you can also click on the drawing below for where measurements are taken)

Chest: Is measured ON DRESS from armpit to armpit, then doubled.
(when measuring yourself, measure all the way around the biggest part of your chest.)

Hip measurements. These are hard to take, because not everyone's hips end up in the same place. So This measurement is *always* an approximation, but generally on a long dress we will measure it halfway between the chest & bottom hem. On pants, usually appx 10"-12" down from the waistline.

Skirt or Pant length: We measure from top to bottom.

Pant inseam: We measure from the seam in the crotch where the two legs meet, to the bottom.

Shirt or Dress Length: We measure from the top of the shoulder seam (at the neck opening), to the bottom of the shirt/dress. If it is sleeveless such as a tank, we will measure from the shoulder seam to the bottom.
