4. Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waistline, usually just above the belly button.

5. Hips
Measure around the widest part of your hips and buttocks.

6. Blouse Length
Measure vertically from the top of your shoulder (where a shirt seam would sit) down to your desired blouse hem.

7. Skirt Length
Start at your natural waist and measure down to where you want the skirt to end (mini, midi, or ankle).

Measure around the fullest part of your upper arm.

9. Shoulder to Underbust
