Custom-Made Dresses: Under Bust Measurement

Video Transcript

"We are going over how to take measurements to have a dress made for you. One of the common measurements for a seamstress to take is taking your measurement right underneath the bust line. Usually this one's also taken to see what type, what size bra you should be wearing as well. But you, what you want to do is take your soft measuring tape, you don't want to really use a piece of string, because sometimes those can stretch out. But you want to take your soft measuring tape and go right underneath your bust line. Don't pull the measuring tape. You want to make sure that it is just, is just snug. And if you pull it, it'll go too tight and you won't have the proper measurements. Make sure that the end of the measuring tape is even with, with the front and you'll be able to line it up and see exactly where the, the measurement is. You can also take these with, in a bathroom. You want to make sure that you don't take them yourselves, you'll have somebody else take them for you. And moving around you're not going to get the right measurement. You'll get something that's off and then the dress won't fit properly when it's made."
