Measuring Instructions

You will need a soft measuring tape. You can get one at any fabric store, grocery store, and even Walgreens! They are usually around $2. You will also need a piece of string or yarn to tie around your natural waistline. A number of measurements are taking by using the waist as a guide (you will see more about that below). It also helps to have a friend to measure you. It speeds up the whole process when you have someone handy that can help double-check that the measurements are being taken correctly.

Measurements should be taken with underwear and bra on to allow for room underneath the costume. Also, give us the measurement of your inseam and side seam with and without shoes if you're planning on wearing tall-heeled shoes and have pants or a skirt that need to be fitted accordingly.

Please take all measurements according to the instructions below. Many thanks for Pricilla for being our model for this section. Please stand straight and symetrical when taking your measurements, unlike Pricilla who is stuck in one position.
