¶ This is not difficult if you will read and follow these instructions carefully. Read them all over once so as to get a general idea. Then read directions on each measurement again just before you take it, consulting at the same time the diagrams "A" and "E" below.

¶ It would be well to have some one of your family take the measurements under your direction. See that your corset is properly put on and laced correctly. [See instructions for proper adjustment on leaflet.] In no other way can accurate measurements be taken, and upon these the fit of the corset depends.

¶ All measurements should be taken over the corset with outer garments removed. Take measurements standing, and again sitting, to make sure that the boning in the corset will not be too long. Prove all measurements by taking them twice. Length of corset in front must not be confused with length of front clasp—the cloth always extends a little above and below the clasp, making the length of the corset greater than the length of the clasp. Give exact number of inches to each measurement. The more accurate you are, the better fit we can give you.
