How to Measure for Custom Lengths
- Use a soft tape measure and stand straight.
-
For skirts:
Measure from your natural waist (the narrowest part of your torso) straight down the front to where you’d like the hem to fall. -
For dresses:
Measure from the top of your shoulder (where a bra strap would sit) straight down the front to your desired hemline. - Tip: It’s easiest with someone helping you — or standing in front of a mirror.
