Measurements:
You will need: a piece of elastic or string, and a flexible tape measure, such as used for sewing. Tape measures are available in all Fabric stores and most groceries and drug stores and usually cost under a dollar - please don’t try to take your measurements with a steel tape - they are for carpentry not corsetry!
Take the measurements in your normal underwear, and measure just what is there, not tight, not loose.
First, take a piece of elastic or string and tie it around your waist - it will find your natural waistline so you will have a place from which to gauge your measurements. This is very important, as a corset will also find your waistline, and if it is in the wrong place, the corset will either ride up, or slip down.
If you wear prosthetic breasts, measure with them on.
These are the basics, you may be asked for other measurements, depending on the style chosen. Remember, the more accurate the measurements, the better the fit or your corset.
