Choosing a wedding dress is one of the most beautiful and personal moments in every woman's life. The moment when you put on your wedding dress for the first time is full of emotions and expectations. In order to enjoy this experience to the fullest and avoid unnecessary stress, it is a good idea to prepare for it with the love and care you deserve.
One of the key steps to making your wedding dress fit perfectly is to measure your body accurately. This simple but important process will help you choose a dress that fits you perfectly, highlights your beauty and makes you feel comfortable throughout your wedding day. In this article, we offer you a key guide on how to measure yourself properly before choosing your wedding dress.
WHAT TO MEASURE BEFORE TRYING ON A WEDDING DRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME?
1. Circumference of the chest:
The measurement is taken at the widest part of the chest. The measurement should be horizontal and close to the body, but not too tight. The arms should be relaxed along the body.
2. Circumference of the waist:
Measure at the narrowest point of the waist, usually above the navel and below the ribs. Again, the measurement should be a snug but close fit.
3. Circumference of the hips:
The measurement of the hips is taken at the widest part, usually the sitting area. Make sure the measurement is horizontal all the way around.
4. Shoulder-to-floor length:
This measurement is important if you have a long dress. Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam begins) to the floor, wearing the shoes you plan to wear at the wedding.
5. Sleeve length (if the dress has sleeves):
Measure from shoulder to elbow to wrist, with arm slightly bent.
When measuring, it is a good idea to have another person help you so that the measurements are accurate. It is also a good idea to take measurements in the underwear you plan to wear under your wedding dress to get the most accurate results. Your wedding dress should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable and fit perfectly. Taking the right measurements is the first step to feeling like the most beautiful version of yourself on your big day.
