Natural Waistline
|
|
|
Put your hands on your
hips and bend side to side. Where your body naturally bends is
your natural waist. This may be higher than you wear your
modern pants and this IS normal. Tie a string around your
natural waistline. (in the picture above, you can see the tilted
string. This is showing the difference between the natural waist
(the higher point) and the pants waist) Many of the measurements
you will take are taken from a point on your natural waist and
this will help ensure consistency. |

Hollow in Back |
 |
You will need a helper
to find this measurement. Hold the tape measure (or a string)
at the nape of your neck in back and let one end fall naturally
(needs to be long enough to fall to your buttocks). Have your
helper poke you in the back at the natural waistline in back on
your spine. The hollow is the measurement of the distance from
where the pencil touches your back and intersects with the tape
measure (or string). The average measurement is a little over
an inch, but yours could be more or less than this. |

Front Balance

 |
You will need your
helper again. Hold the tape measure at the nape of your neck in
back, take it around and over one shoulder (it doesn’t matter
which one), and then down to the middle of your natural waist
line in front. |
|
________ inches |
|
Back Balance
|
 |
You will need your
helper for this one too (be sure to thank your helper when all
of this is over). Hold the tape measure between the shoulder
blades in back, go up over the shoulder (doesn't matter which
one) then under the arm (from that same shoulder) and back
around to the middle natural waistline in back (you should start
and end on your spine) |
