Joanna Emerald Green Velvet Open-Back Dress

1 Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape measure stays level across your back and front.

2 Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, ensuring the tape measure is level all the way around.

3 Hip
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level all the way around.

4 Inside Leg
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Place the tape measure against the inside of your thigh, as high up toward your crotch as is comfortable, and measure straight down to the floor by your ankle.

5 Wearing Length
Hold the tape measure at the side of your neck and measure straight down to the hem of your dress, top, coat, or jacket, following the curve of your bust. This measurement shows where the garment will fall on your body when worn.
