Every body is unique, custom lingerie designs are drafted from your measurements.
-
To ensure the perfect fit for your custom lingerie, follow these simple steps to take accurate measurements with a tape measure. Please have a pen and paper ready for recording your measurements as you will need these for your custom order.
-
Use a Mirror: If possible, use a full-length mirror to ensure the tape measure is positioned correctly and parallel to the ground.
Be prepared to get naked: Take measurements while nude! These garments are constructed exactly from the input you give me.
Repeat for Accuracy: For the best accuracy, measure each area twice. Record EXACT measurements. (example: 32 1/4 inch)
Bras & Bralettes
Underbust Measurement
Wrap the measuring tape comfortably snug around your ribcage, directly under your breast tissue where the band of the bra will sit, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground. This is your under-bust measurement.
Full Bust Measurement
Please have on a your best fitting non-padded wired-bra or bralette.
Place the tape around the fullest part of your bust, which is usually at nipple level, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground. Ensure its snug but not compressing tissue, while exhaling. This is your full bust measurement.
Horizontal Hemisphere Measurement
Where to Measure: Take your measuring tape and start at exactly where your breast tissue starts on the center of your chest, measure across your chest to the where breast tissue stops near the armpit. Make sure you’re holding the measuring tape parallel. This is your horizontal hemisphere measurement.
Bottom Cup Depth (BCD) Measurement
The bottom cup depth ensures the lower part of the bra cup fits correctly. Please take this measurement without a bra on.
Where to Measure: Measure from the base of your breast tissue (where it meets your chest wall) to the middle of your nipple, following the curvature of your breast. This is your BCD measurement.
Tips for Accuracy: Stand up straight and keep the tape snug against your skin but not tight. Avoid stretching the tape beyond the natural curve of the breast.
Underwear and Garters
Measuring Your Hips and Butt
Stand up straight with your feet together. Place the measuring tape snugly around the fullest part of your hips and butt, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the ground. This is your hip measurement. This is your hip measurement.
Measuring Your Waist
Find the Natural Waist: Locate the narrowest part of your waist, which is typically above your belly button and below your rib cage. This is your natural waist. Comfortably snug, place the tape measure around your natural waist, ensuring it is parallel to the ground. This is your waist measurement.
