Before we begin, you will need to have the following : A measuring tape
When taking these measurements, please make sure to wear tight fitting clothing to ensure accuracy.
STEP 1, BUST:
Please be aware that this is not your bra size. When taking this measurement, take your tape, and wrap it around your back, bringing it around to the fullest part of your bust. When you’re taking this measurement, make sure that your arms are hanging loosely by your side. Please be sure to wear a bra when taking your measurement. As otherwise your garment maybe a little bit too tight around the chest.
STEP 2, WAIST:
To measure the waist, take the tape, and wrap it around the smallest part of your waist. Typically, this is about one inch above your belly button. When taking this measurement, keep the tape a little bit loose to allow for breathing room.
STEP 3, HIPS:
The hip measurement spans across the widest part of your hips. To start, take your tape, and wrap it around the back, bringing it down until it brushes across both hip bones. Typically, this will be about seven inches below your natural waistline which is at the narrowest part of your waist.
STEP 4, HOLLOW TO FLOOR
The Hollow to Floor measurement is taken from the hollow at the base of your neck between your collarbones to the floor. When taking this measurement make sure you are standing upright, don’t wear any shoes and keep your feet close together.
STEP 5, HOLLOW TO HEMLINE
Hollow to hemline is the distance from the hollow at the base of your throat to your hemline. When taking this measurement, make sure you are standing upright, back straight. Please make sure when you are taking this measurement to take it accurately. As it will affect the length of your dress.
STEP 6, SHOULDER
For the shoulder measurement, you have to measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other. To start, rotate your arm a little, and you will be able to find the spot where your arm and shoulder meet. Start from there, and go in a straight line to the other end.
STEP 7, ARM LENGTH
To measure arm length, simply measure from your shoulder to your wrist. To start, rotate your arm a little, to find the spot where your shoulder and arm meet. From there, simply measure downwards and keep your arm loose and relaxed by your side.
STEP 8, ARMSCYE:
Measuring your Armscye is relatively simple. Just take your tape, and wrap it around the fullest part of your upper arm. When taking this measurement, it’s important to make sure it’s not too loose or too tight as it affects your sleeve size.
STEP 9, ARM:
Take the arm measurement, requires your arm to be in a particular position. First, bend your arm 90 degrees at the elbow and the place your hand on your hip. To start measuring, take the tape and place it at the back of your neck, measure over your shoulder to your elbow, and from the elbow to the wrist. The total length will be the arm measurement.
STEP 10, HEIGHT:
To measure your height, first, make sure you are not wearing any shoes. Place your back against the wall, feet together and simply measure from the top of your head to your feet.
Please use these measurement when ordering any custom tailored clothing from Lightinthebox.com to ensure the best results.

[@Monillla]

Very helpful! Thank you! I think the model did just fine. People are so picky about another person's character...childish.

[@jenerosayroso4210]

hi maam, how to measure for the off shoulder dress? thanks

[@Monovs_1]

Hello, nice work, please is it one inch above belly button for all size for the waist measurement

[@lolipanda2763]

It did be helpful if u gave model size in inch as e.g

[@elsieberrios7559]

Why the measurement from head to heel, don't quite get that last measurement.

[@tiffanytriplett1478]

What size do you go with when your bust size doesn’t coordinate with the waist size on a certain size

[@Dynamite166]

This is something that rly confuses me,if someone knows the correct way then plz let me know. Do we only measure our shoulder Points or are arm locks supposed to be measured as well?

[@esmeraldaportillolizarraga8316]

Hey i love your store, Because i have found a beautiful shoes of my size and this is so problem to found this kind of sizes in MEXICOO; you don¨t have any idea of my problem to find that sizes; because Im very tall and i have too big feet, its a pleasure to find this shop i can pay for a pair of shoes, last week i buy a pair of beautiful boots , everything was really good, but when my pack arrived DHL told me that customs of Mexico charged me 520.00 pesos like 29.00 UDS, I wanted to order other boots but I was totally discouraged by the customs payment

[@susandewet93]

After you've taken your measurements... how do i compare to YOUR measurements of clothing 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️? Does garment have to be a little MORE than my own measurements? I have great trouble in deciding which size garment to order 😢! You're clothes are beautiful and like the loose fitting clothes as i hate anything to be tight fitting... so how do one know how looser, for instance a flowy loose fitting dress should be?

[@lightinthebox]

Thanks for your comment Rose, we hope you find what you like and at the right size for you. All the best!

[@mspurpletasticful]

this video helps! thanks...XD

[@joannaestrada6834]

I ordered a dress from you guys and for my hollow to floor my mesuaremt was 52 inches but I received an email stating that the tailor said I had the incorrect mesuaremt bc hollow to floor and height is usually 9 - 15inches. Is that possible? I compared my mesuaremts to your charts on the website and I seem to be correct.

[@coffee6687]

it's cm

[@lightinthebox]

@ankabanan1981 Hi ankabanan, rather than reading what our competitors have written about us on forums which do not require an order number to post a complaint, why don't you head over to ResellerRatings or the LightInTheBox Facebook page and see what our actual customers have to say before making a decision :)

awesome video, im working in your affiliate program it would be great if u can get 1 video like this in spanish. ;)

[@gorsian1979]

is that 14 inch ?

[@pj6029]

I paid for expedited shipping from this company but waited an extra month to then decide to cancel my order as there was still no indication of when it would be shipped. Now I’m playing the waiting game with customer service who haven’t gotten back to me now in over a week. My recommendation is to bypass this company unless you need a lesson on how to lose your money.

[@magentabunny8380]

I came from Wiki How lol

[@nehalahmad6696]

Nice vedio

[@lightinthebox]

@tmeh26 Hi tmeh sorry your dress didn't fit. If you read our website's knowledge base you'd see we have a comprehensive returns policy. You just need to click My Orders and open a customer service ticket and we'll arrange everything. I assure you we aren't a crooked company and have no interest in keeping your money if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase.

[@mariafalcao8537]

[@survivor_of_debilitating_s4243]

0:50 SHE'S got SPIT Arms.

[@izzialexis7858]

The model is pretty but her expression is kinda scary

[@simplypreciousable]

It's a scam!!!! Don't purchase from them. They sent me the wrong product and damaged, tickets gets closed and then you have no way to open new ones.

[@orders69pizzas30]

Model makes too many goofy expressions

[@army9161]

They do lol.

[@daniaawni5180]

[@lisettegarcia]

That model is working the camera way too hard. I mean, c'mon girl, this is KZbin
