Dudou Custom Form

How to take measurements

  • Start with a flexible measuring tape, notepad, and two pieces of string or ribbon (optional). Label the measurements as you go.
  • Measure against skin or thin unpadded underwear. 
  • Relax and keep the tape completely straight - double check this for each measurement.
  • Do not tighten or loosen the tape. It should lay flat and snug against your body.

It's easier if someone helps you, but doing it yourself is possible. Just follow the instructions carefully and double check each measurement for the best results!

Custom garments can't be started without the form, so make sure to submit it promptly to avoid delays! If you need any help during this process, contact me and I'd be more than happy to help :)

  • This is a half measurement, so we won't go around the back for this.
  • Measure only the front half of your bust. Start at the side seam (dotted line) and go across the fullest point of your bust to the other side seam. The side seam is a line directly down the middle of your armpit.

 

Underbust

Waist
