Before body measurements, few posts of the body should be pointed out for accurate measurement. They are such as chest, waist, hips, inseam, thigh, upper arm, sleeve length, etc. Always use a fabric measuring tape, should not use a metal one, measuring tape is much more accurate then metal one. They’re given a few measurements tips as follows-

    Hey there! I know this is kind of off-topic, but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa? My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours, and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
