Your Guide to Corset Measurements
HOW TO MEASURE BUST
Wearing your usual bra with arms relaxed at your sides, measure your bust at the fullest point—keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Wrap it around over both nipples, under the armholes, over the shoulder blades, and around your back where your bra strap sits.
HOW TO MEASURE UNDERBUST
Measure all the way around your torso immediately beneath your bust. All measurements should be taken in inches.
HOW TO MEASURE NATURAL WAIST
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline. To find it, bend to one side—there’s usually a crease just below your ribcage. Keep the tape parallel to the floor as you wrap it around your torso.
HOW TO MEASURE UPPER HIP
Measure at or just below your hip bone—just above where you bend when you sit.
HOW TO MEASURE FULL HIP
Standing with heels together, measure around the broadest part of your hips (approximately 8″ below the natural waistline). Include the fullest part of your backside—where your legs meet your torso.
