Basic measurements
1. Height: Stand straight (not too straight, just as usual) with your back, your head and your heels against the wall. Ask a Measurer to mark a spot at the wall using a ruler that goes on top of your head perpendicular to the wall. Measure the vertical distance from the floor to the mark.
2. Bust: Take this measurement over the fullest part of the bust and across the widest part of the back. The measuring tape should go horizontally all around your body.
3. Waist: To locate your waistline, tie a narrow elastic string around the waist and let it settle into the natural waistline as you bend to the left and to the right. Take the measurement along the string line.
4. Hips: Take the measurement around the fullest part, which is usually 18cm (7") to 23cm (9") below the waist.
Advanced measurements (in addition to all mentioned above)
5. Shoulder length: Measured from neck base to shoulder point. To locate neck base, circle tape horizontally around your neck under thyroid. To find the shoulder point, raise the arm to shoulder level. A dimple will form at the shoulder bone that's the shoulder point.
6. Waist height from floor: Distance from waist to the floor. Place a ruler or book between your waist and the wall, make a mark on the wall. Measure height of the mark from the floor.
7. Front waist length: Measured from the prominent bone at back neck to the neck base point, over bust point, and vertically down to waistline. (To find the back neck bone, bend the head forward so you can feel the neck bone, or vertebra. For neck base point see Shoulder length measurement.).
8. Back waist length: From prominent bone at back neck down along the spine though a ruler of 1 width put at the projecting scapulae points to the tape tied at waist line.
9. Sleeve length:From the shoulder point, over the elbow to the front where your thumb begins.
