Get Measurements for a Flower Girl's Dress

This guide gives you an easy way to get measurements for a flower girl's dress. It can be used to measure for online purchasing, as well.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Have the little angel stand with arms relaxed at her sides in undergarments or fitted clothing.
Step 2

Measure SHOULDERS by placing the tape measure across her upper back from shoulder to shoulder. Make sure that the tape measure is laying flat against her back.
Step 3

Measure CHEST by wrapping the tape measure straight across the top of the bust and widest part of back to form a completed circle. This is the most important measurement of the dress.
Step 4

Measure WAIST by placing the tape measure 1-2 inches above the navel and forming a completed circle.
Step 5

Measure HIPS by placing the largest part of hips, which is found approximately 8 inches below the waistline.
Step 6

Now compare the measurements to the dress you'd like to buy. When in doubt go with the chest size, which makes the dress most comfortable and the zipper close easily.
