How To Measure
Shoulder to Hem, or Dress Length.
Measure from the the highest part of the shoulder (or the hollow in the throat) to the bottom of the hem (dress), over the fullest part of the chest.
Measure across the widest part of the Chest and and shoulder blades (back), so the measuring tape goes completely around the body. For young girls this can be one inch below the bottom of the dress arm hole (underarm seam).
Waist
Measure around the natural waistline, making a complete circle. Do not pull the tape tight or suck in the stomach. Insert a finger under the tape so the dress is not to tight. The natural waist is when you bend over to the side, where your skin folds is your natural waist.
