Simple Way of Taking Body Measurements

Taking correct body measurements is one of the most important steps in making a custom-made dress.
When the body measurements are accurate, the garments can be fit. A well-fitted garmebt can enhance not only the look of the person but also the personality.
There are several parts of the body to be measured. These are taken in:
1. Horizontal measurement is taken from left ofvthe figurevto the right. These are Shoulder, Bust distance and Chest
2. Vertical measurement is taken from the top of the body figure to its base. These are Figure, Bust height, Blouse Length, Crotch, Dress Length, Pants length and Sleeve length
3. Circumferential measurementbis taken around the body. These are Bust, Waist, Hips, Armhole, Leg circumference, Knee circumference and Bottom width.

I'm trying to learn how to sew on my own but I don't know which kind of book will be good for a beginner with 0 knowledge like me. Most of the books people recommend me are out of my reach, literally, since I'm living in the middle of nowhere without any online services. And the videos I found for the beginners are either too complicated or too skip to the point, without even measuring. I was really close to giving up, but I came across with your videos and now I'm learning again. Thank you very much ma'am, for making videos that are easy for people like me to understand. May God bless you.

Hi! Thank you very much for appreciating my video. God Bless!!!

[@dboutine]

Marissa, thank you so much for your tutorials. I've been trying to craft my bodice following different tutorials but always ended up disappointed with the results. I finally managed to trace it today with the help of your lesson. I discovered your channel just a couple of days ago and subscribed without hesitation. I am liking all your videos as well. Thanks again, and may God bless you and your channel with more subscriptions.
