how to measure your body shape and measurements for the woman's body, with text overlay

International Dance Supplies: How To Get The Perfect Costume Fit!

Measuring Information: Girth Measure from the middle of one shoulder, down through the crotch and back up to the same shoulder. Bust Measure under the arms and around the fullest part of the bust and across the back. Make sure you take the measurements on the exhale and not the inhale so that the ribcage is relaxed. Waist Ask the student to bend to one side, where a natural crease forms is where the natural waist line is. When they stand up straight measure round the front and back of the natural waist. Hips With feet directly under the hips, measure around the widest part of the hips. Measuring girth is the most important measurement. If a student is in between sizes, allow girth to be the guiding measurement to make your judgement.

Step 1- Take each layer of net, put one hand underneath and one hand above. Rub the net between your hands, from the seam outwards. Repeat this on each individual layer.

Step 2- Take both your hands to where the net meets the leotard. Scrunch the net in your hands all the way around – you will hear lots of crunching but don’t be afraid of being a little forceful!

Step 3- Take a steamer and run it over the top and underneath each layer of net. Alternatively, you can hang the tutu the correct way up in a bathroom with a hot shower running.

Step 4- Getting the correct fit is important to ensure the skirt sits correctly. To avoid the skirt flying up make sure to take accurate girth measurements

Step 5- Keep the tutu hanging the correct way up and let gravity do the work! Run It, Do The Work, Over The Top, The Net, Be Afraid, All The Way, Leotards
