Measurement Tips:

Please follow the tips below to insure the most accurate measurements possible.

  • Measurements should be taken directly next to the skin or over a very fitted, light weight garment (bodysuit, chemise, etc.)
  • Record measurements in 1/2" increments. Be honest with your measurements!
  • Keep the tape measure snug without pulling too tight.
  • Tie a piece of string at your waist. This will help with taking other measurements based off of your wastline.
  • To get an idea of the corseted waist size you want, pull the tape measure as tightly as possible at your waistline. Some people will be more compressible than others; a firm body type may only compress 2" to 3", while a more fleshy body type may compress 6" to 10".
