How to Take Your Measurements
To ensure a perfect fit for your custom Luminous Designs pieces, it’s important to provide accurate measurements. Here’s a simple guide on how to take your measurements at home:
What You’ll Need:
- A soft measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler)
- A mirror (optional, but helpful!)
- A friend to assist (if available)
Key Measurements:
-
Bust
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape is snug but not tight.
- Keep the tape level across your back and chest.
- Tip: Wear the bra you intend to wear while taking this measurement!
-
Underbust
- Measure just underneath your bust, around your ribcage.
- Keep the tape horizontal across your back.
-
Waist
- Find your natural waist by bending to the side—this is the crease where your waist naturally folds.
- Measure around this area, keeping the tape snug but not too tight.
-
Hips
- Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum.
- Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and snug.
-
Torso Length (for bodysuits)
- Measure from the top of one shoulder, down your front, through your legs, and up your back to the same point on your shoulder.
- This measurement ensures the right fit for bodysuits!
-
Inseam (for pants or jumpsuits)
- Measure from the top of your inner thigh (where your legs meet your torso) down to the desired hemline.
Tips for Accurate Measurements:
- Measure while standing straight and relaxed.
- Keep the measuring tape flat and level—don’t let it twist.
- Measure over bare skin or form-fitting clothing for best results.
- Double-check your measurements to ensure accuracy.
