Bust Measurement: This measurement should be taken around the widest part of the bust. Do not pull the measuring tape tight, but make sure that it is a close fit. Round this measurement to the nearest half inch.

Waist Measurement: This measurement should be taken at your natural waist, usually located near the belly button for women. If you're not sure exactly where your natural waist is, bend over to the side and note where the skin folds. Take the measurement at this point. (Don't suck your breath in, now!) Round this measurement to the nearest half inch.

Waist to Underarm Measurement: Starting at your side, measure the distance from your natural waist to a couple of inches beneath the armpit. The top edge of your bra is a good indication of where to stop measuring. This waist-to-underarm measurement can vary widely; some short-waisted women have a 6 1/2 inch measurement, while very long-waisted women can have a measurement up to 11 inches long. Round this measurement to the nearest half inch.

Waist to Hem: On average, the hem of most apron dresses worn in the SCA fall at about mid-calf level.
