Bust:

Some garments are too difficult to

measure the bust accurately; 

I measure the bust of all of

my items by laying them flat

and measuring straight

across starting right

under the seam of the

sleeve of the arm.

Making sure the garment

is appropriately

laid out and not stretched. 

Hips:

I measure straight

across at

 the widest point

of the Garment.

This usually works

out to be around

14cm lower than the waist

measurement.
