I get quite a few questions regarding how to take body measurements, so I thought i'd give you all the details with a diagram to show correctly. Hope this helps!
Measurements:
Depending on the type of garment you would like made, these are the measurements needed:
0. Height: Measure from tip of head down to feet.
1. Across Back: Measure from prominent neck bone down center back 4" to 6" (10cm to 15cm) and mark. Measure across the back from armscye seam to armscye seam at the narrowest point (across the shoulder blades).
2. Across Front: Measure across the top of the breasts from left underarm to right underarm.
3. Across Shoulder: Measure from the back shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
4. Ankle: Measure around the ankle.
5. Armhole: Measure the circumference of your desired sleeve hole. Measure from under your arm around to the top of your shoulder and back to where you started. (It shouldn't be too tight and may help to have a blouse on).
