To accurately take measurements at home, you will need a soft measuring tape and an assistant: the chest circumference is measured at the most protruding points through the shoulder blades, the waist circumference - at the narrowest part just above the navel, the circumference of the hips - at the widest part of the buttocks, and the length of the dress - from the waist to the floor in the shoes in which you plan to go; the tape is held parallel to the floor, close to the body, but without cutting into the skin.
