The best way to get accurate measurements is to get a friend with some experience or a local dressmaker to take them for you. Sometimes this isn't possible so here are a few pointers for the best results. Use a dressmaking tape measure, always stand straight and natural. No sucking in! All horizontal measurements should be straight - ie: parallel to the ground. Bust, and hips are measured at their largest points, waist at its smallest. Its best to wear one light layer of clothing for measuring, hold the tape measure not too loose or too tight - just so that it snugly sits around tour body. If in doubt measure a few times and take an average. More information on measuring can be found here https://www.dummies.com/health/how-to-get-your-body-measurements/
