Dress Measurement Form
Extra seam allowance is left in the sleeve, center back, bodice side seams and drop waist for future alterations.

You will be attaching photos while taking some of the measurements. Please make sure we can see the measuring tape in the photo and that the photos are taken STRAIGHT on like in the example photos. Measurements requiring photos will be noted in RED. If you are having difficulties attaching the photos you can email them to info@primedressdesigns.com. Please include your dancer's name, school, and type of garment being ordered in the email.

You MUST tape around at least the dancer's waist to improve the accuracy of your measurements.

You MUST wear a tight shirt and shorts for measurements. No t-shirts, baggy pants, or jeans.

We recommend that you write the measurements down a scrap piece of paper so that if your internet connection is lost, you will still have a copy of the measurements you have already taken. Feel free to click "save and continue later" at the bottom of the page to save your progress as you go and receive an email link.

Before continuing.... Have you put tape at the dancer's waist?*
If you answer "No"- Do not continue until you have something to mark the dancer's waist that will not move during the measurement process. If you do not have tape, you can use a marker to draw a line on the dancer's waist.

Chest*
Measure the circumference of your chest. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
Waist*
Use the tape to circle your waist at your natural waistline, which is located about 2 inches ABOVE your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.) Don't suck in your stomach, or you'll get a false measurement.
You MUST tape around your waist and leave it there for the rest of the measurements. (a small piece of tape to mark where the waist is sitting is acceptable too). If you do not mark the waist, you will need to resubmit your measurements.
It is critical that you remember where the waist is on your dancer for future measurements. The tape ensures that you keep the waist in the same spot.
2" below waist*
Measure down 2 inches below the waist line.
4" below waist*
Measure down 4 inches below the waist line.
5" below waist*
Measure down 5 inches below the waist line.
6" below waist
Measure down 6 inches below the waist line. On smaller/younger girls this measurement may fall below the hip line. If the measurement falls below the hip line leave blank.
Hip*
Measure the fullest part of the hips. Where dancer's buttocks is the largest.
