Tips for Taking Body Measurements

Ok. So, we're finished with measuring ourselves completely. This is basically a women's guide. I think for men, there are slight differences in how you would find measurements for shirts or for suits, etc. This is basically what I use for women only. So, you guys might be missing a couple of them. But, it's pretty close. And, it was very painless and you have accurate measurements. So, let's say you know your big role as a movie star comes up and you need to give he costume designer your measurements. You?re accurate and she can find sizes for you and it's painless. Or, let's say your big day happens where you need to get married and you need someone to make a custom wedding dress for yourself. You're going to need to have some measurements that someone can build you a pattern. Or, let's say you're just ambitious and you make your own stuff. You're going to need to start from here and then you can apply these measurements to patterns. So, good luck and measure them all.
