Most of the dancers prefer tailored ballroom dresses as the dress is gorgeous as long as it fits the body in every move. If you worry about how to get your measurements as you are not a tailor, this quick guide is to give you an easy-to-follow instruction so that you can order a ballroom dress that is 100% yours!
What you need is a cloth tape measure. If you don’t have a cloth tape measure, you can simply use a string to measure around your body and then use a normal ruler to measure the string.
To get proper data, you want to take the measurements undressed or in lightweight clothes. Most of the ballroom dresses now have built-in bras. But if you are going to order a ballroom dress without built-in bra, it is even better to take the measurements with the bra that you will be wearing with your dress.
Below are the common measurements normally required by online retailers and the illustrations.
