How to take your measurements:
For best results, have a friend take measurements. You will need cloth tape measure and a full length mirror. Take measurements undressed or in lightweight clothes. Pull the tape measure snug, but not too tight. Keep your arms at your side and don't slouch! Stand up nice and tall.

Bust
Measure around the shoulder blades, under the armpits and over the fullest part of the bust.

Natural Waistline
Find your natural waistline and measure.

Low Waist Measure between hip bone and 2 inches below the navel

Hip
Measure the fullest part of the hip (usually about 7-9 inches below the waist)

Bra Size
1. Wear a comfortable bra and measure the rib cage just below the breast. If the number is 33 or less, add 5 inches to that number and that is your bra size. Over 33 inches add 3 inches to get you bra size. Both ways, round odd numbers up to even.
2. Then take measurement of the bust around the fullest part. When you subtract the last number (fullest part) by the measurement of bra size (or your rib cage), you'll come up with a number used to determine cup size by using the chart below (the A, B,C, etc. cup chart). For example, if your bra size was 36 and your cup measurement was 38, the difference is 2" so you would wear a 36B.

Use this chart:
AA = 1/2"
A = 1"
B = 2"
C = 3"
D = 4"
DD or E = 5"
F = 6"
G = 7"

Tips
-UK sizes may seem the same as U.S. women's, but are generally about a size smaller (a U.S. 8 is about a UK 10). To find your European size, you can add 30 to your size. A U.S. 6 is a Euro 36. Always refer to size charts for fit!
-We recommend that you order your typical size unless our stylist has noted specific fit details within the product description.  If you are still uncertain about a products sizing feel free to ask a DYBT stylist to help at myshopper@dressyourbodytype.com.
-Find a great tailor, because no matter how closely you order your size, it's still not custom made.
