Steps Towards a Bridesmaid Dress That Fits You Perfect

A dress can't be a perfect dress without exact measurement. Therefore, proper body measurements are required when looking around for stylish bridesmaid dresses that fit. These essential measurements include the bust line, the waist, the hips and the hollow to hem measurements. Thus it is important that the exact body measurements of the bridesmaids be taken and not just estimated.

Bridesmaid dresses require various body measurements. One is the dimension for the bust line. This should be taken on the part of the chest where the bust is at its peak. You need to stand straight with your heels placed close together. Your arms must be at your side. With the measuring tape at the widest area of the back, measure the bust line and write down the figure.

For the waist measurement, put your hands where the natural waistline is located because this is where the tape should be positioned. Remember to have your stomach in its normal position. There should be a little space left for adjustments and so the tape should not be pulled tight.

The hips are the next to be measured. With your hells placed close together and your body in a relaxed position, the measurements must be carefully taken. The way by which the hip measurements are taken will depend on what the type of the dress is. For a sheath gown, the tape must be positioned around the fullest area of the bottom. For an A-line dress, the tape should be positioned at the fullest area of the hip.

The next is the length of the dress. Taller women about 5'9'' in height or bridesmaids planning to wear high heels are recommended to have extra length in their dress. The length of the bridesmaid dress may be taken starting from the hollow part of the neck at the collarbone up to the hemline preferred. Majority of designer dresses have length on 57 inches from hollow to the hemline. This standard dress length may be added with extra 5 inches length.

After taking the exact measurements, you are now ready to check with the corresponding chart size of your chosen dress store or shop. Yet most of the times, women will find gowns and dresses that will fit their bust but not their hips or will fit their hips but not the waist. At this instance, you will be required to choose a larger size of the dress. So, the best way is to have it try again and again.
