Taking accurate measurements is essential when it comes to ordering bespoke lingerie. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to take your measurements for bespoke lingerie:

Wear comfortable clothing
When taking your measurements, it is important to wear comfortable clothing that fits snugly but does not compress your body. Avoid wearing tight clothing or shapewear as it can affect your measurements.

Use a flexible tape measure
Use a flexible tape measure made of a soft material like vinyl or cloth to ensure accurate measurements. Do not use a metal tape measure as it can be inflexible and cause inaccurate measurements.

Measure in the right position
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart and arms at your side. Ensure that you are in a relaxed and natural position, with your shoulders and back straight.

Measure your bust
To measure your bust, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape is straight and level all around your body. Take the measurement at the fullest point, making sure the tape is snug but not too tight.

Measure your underbust
To measure your underbust, wrap the tape measure around your ribcage, just below your bust. Make sure the tape measure is snug but not too tight. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Measure your waist
To measure your waist, wrap the tape measure around your natural waistline, which is the narrowest part of your torso, typically located just above your belly button. Make sure the tape is straight and level all around your body, without being too tight or too loose. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Measure your hips
To measure your hips, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, which is usually at the widest point of your buttocks. Make sure the tape measure is straight and level all around your body. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Measure your thigh
To measure your thigh, wrap the tape measure around the thickest part of your thigh, just below your hip bone. Make sure the tape measure is snug but not too tight. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Measure your rise
To measure your rise, start from the center of your waistline and bring the tape measure down to the crotch, between your legs. Make sure the tape measure is straight and level all around your body. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Measure your torso length
To measure your torso length, start from the top of your shoulder and bring the tape measure down to the natural waistline. Make sure the tape measure is straight and level all around your body. Take the measurement and record it in inches or centimeters.

Provide additional information
In addition to your measurements, it is important to provide additional information such as your preferred style, material, and color. You can also provide information on any specific fit issues or concerns you may have.

Double-check your measurements
After taking your measurements, double-check to ensure they are accurate and consistent. If you are unsure about any measurement, it is always best to measure again or seek the assistance of a professional.

In summary, taking accurate measurements is crucial when it comes to ordering bespoke lingerie. By following these steps, you can ensure that your lingerie fits perfectly and is both comfortable and flattering.
