Tips on Taking Your Own Measurements for amazing custom dresses like the one I had made by Royal Jelly Harlem

I found a how to on youtube that was all wrong and decided I would share a good one in case anyone decides to purchase their very own Royal Jelly Harlem piece.:)

And, to prove I did a good job on my measurements, the dress fits like a glove!
