NOTE! Garment measurements differ, depending on the item & manufacturers, so we always take the extra time to measure each & every item that we sell, and list it on each individual item page, usually just below the picture. We want you to know exactly what you're getting!!
The measurements that you see on each page are the measurements of the garment itself.

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 - do not double that. Your bra size is not the same as your chest size!)
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. (when measuring your hips, it's usually best to measure around the widest part of your hips) 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.
