How to measure yourself for eShakti custom dresses

Get the right measurements, the first time!

1. First, measure your bust, waist and hips. You probably already know these numbers if you've bought any clothes online before.
2. Look at eShakti's standard size chart to find the best match. Use the size where two of out three of your numbers are close to their numbers. Know yourself: You probably have an idea of your size already from buying other clothes, and where those items are loose or tight on you.
3. Get the rest of the measurements that eShakti uses. Email eShakti at customerchampion@eshakti.com. (sorry, you have to email; the phone people don't have this information) Let them know you want to make sure you're measuring correctly for the style you're interested in. (the style will be a number like CL0012345) Give them your height also.

   Hi, I'd like to be sure I'm measuring myself correctly. Can you send me the measurements for CL0012345 in a size 10 for someone who's 5'2"? Thanks!

   It'll take a couple days because they'll have to ask the people that make the patterns. You'll get a table like this:

   POM	MMT
   height	5.2
   shoulder	15.75
   upper arm	12
   chest	35
   bust	37
   underbust	31
   waist	30
   hip	40
   HPSToBust	10.5
   HPSToWaist	18
   HPSToKnee	39

   (yes, some measurements aren't a full inch)
4. Now, have someone else measure you. Some measurements happen on your back, which you can't see. Or from your shoulders to your knees, which you can't do alone without messing up the measurements.
5. Compare these measurements to the measurements eShakti provided, and how clothes usually fit you. Maybe some are way off because you measured differently than how they measure: you should remeasure these to be sure! Or, you know your body is larger or smaller in one area. Leave these as is! (for us, some measurements were exactly as shown above, but others were significantly smaller and others were significantly larger... as expected!)
