How to Measure yourself for a Corset or Fashion Garment
Take the following measurements while wearing a light bra and fitted undergarments. Include breast forms or padding if you will be wearing these with your new garment.Β
Start out standing up straight. YouΒ can take these measurements yourself without the aid of another person.
A. Full Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bustline at nipple height. (only required forΒ garments that cover the breasts)
B. Underbust:Β This is where your lower bra strap wraps around your body. Just under the breasts.
C. Natural Waist: This is typically just above your navel at the narrowest spot, but not always. Measure theΒ area under your ribcage and above your hipbones where most compression is possible.Β
D. Upper Hip: This is where your upper hip bones are located at the top of your pelvic bone. You can usually feel these on the front sides of your torso, just under your waist.
E. Lower Hip: This area is found about 5-7 inches below your waistline.

F. Torso Length: For this measurement sitΒ straight up in a chair with your back completely straight. Place the end of the measuring tape at your underbust, just to the side underΒ one breast and bring it straight down to the top of your thigh.

How toΒ Choose the Right Size Corset
For most corsets, youβll want to subtract 3β5Β inches from your waist size to determine the corset size. For example, if your natural waist is 30 inches, you would subtractΒ 4 inches and look on the sizing chart and that would give you size 26".Β You may choose a size 26" or a size 24", depending on your experience and how dramatic you want your cinch to be. Remember that larger figures squish a bit more, so you may want to go with a gap of 5-6" if your natural waist is over 36".
