Ok so this quick tute is just about how to measure yourself or others if you're going to make something for them. Feel free to use these diagrams to show people what you mean.
Alot of people get confused with the hip measurement and measure it around their hipbone. This is so wrong + gives an incorrect measurement that is WAAYYY off the real measurement. This happens alot, and makes it difficult to make somethign to fit if you're not using the right measurements!
here's the Main Measurements you'll need
Here's some Secondary measurements I use to make custom outfits for people. The more measurements I get - the better the fit!
I've got a skinny-jeans measurements guide too, which I will upload later :) - remind me!
