How To Know Your Perfect Fit When Ordering Clothes (Online)

“To find your perfectly fitting evening dress, you’ll need to take a few measurements. Grab a measuring tape, piece of paper and pen. Follow these steps to measure your bust, waist and hips, then consult with the chart to find your appropriate dress size.

•  Step 1: Measure Your Bust. Raise your arms and wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust. You should use the measurement where the tape overlaps.

•  Step 2: Measure Your Natural Waist. Place the measuring tape two inches above your belly button to measure your natural waistline.

•  Step 3: Measure Your Hips. Ensure that the tape is at the fullest part of your hips to find the correct measurement.”

Now let’s assume you measure

  • Bust -36
  • Waist -28
  • Hip-38

Note:if you want to purchase a body con dress (image below)¹ online and the chart looks like this ( image below)². I will advise you to go for a size 6 dress if possible size 4. This is because body con dresses are stretchy and you would want the dress to hug your natural curves perfectly
