Bodice - Front

• Chest measurement taken at underarm all the
  way across the actual bust
• Bodice length taken from where the shoulder
  joins the neck to the length you require (usually
  just above the hip bone)
  
  TIP: You need to keep the point where the
  bodice ends because this marks where you
  will take the waist measurement. I get the
  child I am measuring to put their finger there
  to keep the point marked throughout. You
  will need this marker for the skirt also. 

• Waist measurement is taken at where the
  bodice ends(where you have marked) all the
  way around.

Skirt

• Measure from where the bodice ends to the
  required length which is usually about 2ins shorter
  than the bodice length, but will vary depending on
  height.

Bodice - Back

• Shoulder width - measure across the shoulder
  blades in line with the top of the shoulder.
• Bodice back length - measure in the same
  way as the front side of neck to where the bodice
  ends. (this may differ slightly from front depending
  on bust size, although it may be the same)

Sleeve

• Measure from the tip of the shoulder down the
  straight arm to required length (usually about 1
  inch above knuckles with fist clenched)
