If your skirt will be full, be sure to measure out at an angle to allow for the fullness. Also, be sure you?re wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day.

Find your Natural Waist and then measure around your hips 7 inches below that.

Start the tape in your armpit and measure your straight arm to the wrist.

Relax your arm and measure around the largest part of the upper arm.

This is the measurement from shoulder blade to shoulder blade.

Measure from your Natural Waist to where you want the hem to be. Be sure you?re wearing the same height heel you'll wear on your wedding day.
