How to Measure the Center Front Length of a Corset
The center front length is measured vertically down the middle of the corset.
Place the beginning of the measuring tape at the top center point of the corset, exactly where the center-front closure or busk begins. Make sure the tape starts on the corset itself, rather than above the top edge.
Run the measuring tape straight down along the center front of the corset, following the center-front closure, until you reach the lowest center point of the bottom edge.
Keep the measuring tape flat against the corset and make sure it remains correctly positioned from top to bottom.
This measurement gives you the correct Center Front Length of the corset.
In short: Start: Top center where the front closure/busk begins → Measure straight down the center front → End: Lowest center point of the bottom edge.

Side Length Measurement
How to Measure the Side Length of a Corset
The side length of a corset is measured at the shortest section on the side, usually directly below the underarm.
Place the beginning of the measuring tape at the top edge of the corset below the armhole. From this point, take the tape down to the bottom edge of the corset at the same side position.
Important: The side of a corset is shaped to follow the natural curves of the body. Therefore, do not hold the measuring tape completely straight away from the corset. Keep the tape lying against the corset and follow the natural curve and contour of the corset from top to bottom.
This gives you the correct Side Length measurement.
In short:
Start: Top edge below the underarm → Follow the corset's natural side curve → End: Bottom edge at the shortest side point.

Centre Back Length
How to Measure the Center Back Length of a Corset
The center back length is measured vertically down the middle of the back of the corset, along the center-back lacing section.
Place the beginning of the measuring tape at the top center edge of the corset, directly between the two rows of eyelets where the back lacing begins.
Run the measuring tape straight down the center back, following the middle of the lacing section, until you reach the lowest center point of the bottom edge of the corset.
Keep the measuring tape flat against the corset and make sure it follows the corset from the top edge to the bottom edge without becoming loose or shifting to either side.
This measurement gives you the correct Center Back Length of the corset.
In short: Start: Top center between the back lacing/eyelets → Measure down the center back → End: Bottom center edge between the back lacing panels.

Natural Overbust Measurements
How to Measure Your Overbust & Natural Bust
For the most accurate corset sizing, take these measurements directly on the body, without clothing or a bra. Stand naturally and keep your body relaxed. Do not hold your breath, expand your chest, or pull the measuring tape too tightly.
Overbust Measurement
The Overbust is measured around the upper part of your chest, above the fullest part of the bust.
Place the measuring tape around your chest so that it sits above the bust line and just under the arms. Keep the tape at the same level all the way around your body.
The tape should sit comfortably against the skin without compressing the bust or being loose.
This is your Overbust Measurement.
Natural Bust Measurement
The Natural Bust is measured around the fullest part of your bust.
Wrap the measuring tape around your body and position it across the fullest/protruding part of the breasts. Make sure the tape remains level around your back and does not slope upward or downward.
Keep the tape comfortably against your body without squeezing or flattening the bust.
This is your Natural Bust Measurement.
Important: Take both measurements without clothing or a bra, wherever practical, so you are measuring your natural body rather than the additional volume or shaping created by clothing. The tape should be snug but never tight, and you should maintain a normal, relaxed posture while measuring.
