How to Measure Your Bust, Waist and Hips for Dressmaking

[@vickyp2609]

Measuring the hip has shocked me and now makes so much sense!! I used to measure where my actual hip bone was - which didn't account for my protruding bottom and I wondered why the fit was never quite right! Thanks Lisa 😊

[@jacmary6580]

Thank you for this, I was measuring my hips wrong 😂 I am more bum than hips and not much of that either lol 😂🤷‍♀️ x

[@Keinan_Speed_999]

Thank you! I like your dress and the colors of it!

[@thegreenpincushion510]

Many thanks for the tutorial. As a advanced beginner, this was very helpful. I think fit can be one of the most frustrating things about sewing.

[@aneutralvegan212]

Advanced beginner...

[@MsSherrydarling]

A good refresher! I find that with the advent of low rise jeans, people have forgotten where there natural waist is. Thanks : ))

[@lunasmum6869]

I am sure you are right. I absolutely hate low rise and mid rise trousers. I am only comfortable when they come right up to my waist they hold my big tummy in better instead of pouring out over the top! For that reason I have certainly not forgotten where my waist is. I can feel it easily.

[@anithakuzhichapilly4984]

[@emilyburgess5475]

Thanks for this. A video on how to chose what size to make would be really helpful. I think I should be doing a FBA but don't know which base size to start with.

[@MsSherrydarling]

If you're making pants or skirts, choose a pattern that fits your hip measure and tops should fit the bust measure. You can always take a waist in and adjust top proportions too.

[@lunafeyleaf7028]

I have a question, my waist measures at 28" but the pants that fit me say 26". Why is that? If I order size 28 pants, they're too big!

[@yoonaclaire]

Tou might be measuringon the wrong part. You should be measuring near your rib bone.

[@SachiAmores]

Need this! thanks

[@anangelsstar]

[@juliadroy1179]

As always very interesting

[@nicolewooldridge9683]

Much cleaner thank you.

[@Mi-gs7xg]

thanks so much! one question, so when you measure, the metal part counts or when it says zero? idk if that was clear...both ends of the tape has to intersect with the other...do they have to intersect at zero or at the thing at the beginning of the tape that you pull?

[@lunasmum6869]

All my tape measures include the metal bit which is there to stop fraying and so making measurements unreliable.

[@lunasmum6869]

I shouldn't have said the metal bits made measuring unreliable. Typos! They make measuring reliable because the ends don't fray. The measurement begins rigt at the edgeof the metal so when it says 1 inch that is 1 inch from the very end. So, when measuring, include the metal bit.

[@sarapeekankumnerd27]

thanks for good knowledge.

[@aurorerodallec7252]

Hi, they ask me to measure what they call blade which is on the reference about 20cm what is it ?

[@tabathasteele7547]

I have a question about bust. What if they are wearing a sports top but if they take it off you end up with drooping. I feel like would get a wrong reading either way.

[@shirinnasreen6073]

Helpful...thanks

[@muktaskreation]

I like ur hair style U r looking so preety in this dress

[@walgal09]

What side of the tape measure 🤔 am I supposed to use?

[@soniczforever5470]

My hips are interesting my thighs larger than but lol

[@anon4518]

thanks for sharing

[@chauminh]

thank you

[@elliemcgrath6973]

Am I the only person who's fattest from in between my waist and my hips? I dont understand why people dont measure that part...

[@lunasmum6869]

Yes, I agree.My hip measurement is the same as the measurement around my fat tummy. I'm never sure how to adjust for that.

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

You might have a violin hip, AKA high hip bones.

[@mokuho]

How can i measure the length of my leg to make the hem of pants? 😔

[@sonya3689]

Is it true, that your natural waist is lined up with your belly button?

[@jakebella5683]

YES I don’t trust the “partner”. 😂😂😂👍😘

[@blueprint.academy]

When measuring the bust should they be wearing a bra? Does it matter?

[@rishisahu4676]

Best kitna btai ye

[@donychicago]

Seems she's intentionally hiding the actual measurements of the model.

[@ΟλγαΣαβ]

The bust without the bra??

[@lunasmum6869]

I you aren't going to wear a bra with the garment you are sewing then yes. Measure with no bra. However, if you are going to wear one then measure whilst wearing the bra you will wear with the garment.

[@catshinmaefrancheska1229]

Idk what's the size of my bra aHAHAHAHAiHAHAHAHAHAHAsHAHHAHAHAeHAHAHAAHAkHAHAHAHA

[@gogitacruz4359]

Just get to the point!

[@sam5992]

noobies sound off

[@joezada3681]

You do lots of talking... this could've been explained in less than two min...

[@lunasmum6869]

That is true, but for a beginner, or a refresher, it is good to go slowly and explain properly so there can't be any misunderstandings. I'm not a beginner by the way, so I can see where you are coming from.

[@shaileshkumar-ip3nv]
