Hey there, lovely! 🌸 Are you ready to slip into a stunning, upcycled halter dress made just for you? At Etsuka, we’re passionate about making sustainable fashion accessible, especially for those underserved in the market—whether you're petite, plus-size, midsize, or taller. 🙌
To create the perfect custom halter dress, we need to make sure it’s tailored to fit your body. Taking precise measurements is the first step to achieving that flawless fit, and we’ve made it super simple with this step-by-step guide! 🧵✨
Why Accurate Measurements Matter for Your Upcycled Kimono Halter Dress
Each dress we make is carefully crafted from vintage kimono fabrics, often Tomesode kimonos traditionally worn at weddings. With upcycled fashion, every piece is made just for you—because it is! No squeezing into clothes. Enjoy a fit that makes you dress perfectly, whether you’re snatching it up for brunch, weddings, or just because you deserve it. 💁♀️
What You’ll Need to Get Started
- A soft measuring tape
- A full-length mirror (optional but helpful)
How to Measure for Your Custom Halter Dress
1. How to Measure Your Bust
- Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust (usually across the nipple line).
- Make sure the tape is snug but not tight, allowing for comfort and movement.
2. How to Measure Your Waist
- Measure around your natural waist—the narrowest part of your torso, typically about an inch above your belly button.
- Keep the tape level all around, and don’t pull too tight!
3. How to Measure Your Hips
- Find the widest part of your hips (usually around the buttocks).
- Wrap the tape around your hips, making sure it lays flat against your body.
4. How to Measure Dress Length
- Measure from the top of your shoulder down to where you want your halter dress to hit (usually at midi length or something longer).
- This will help us craft a dress that fits your height perfectly, whether you’re petite or tall.
A Few Quick Notes About Your Upcycled Halter Dress
- Vintage Kimono Fabrics: Every dress is made from hand-painted and hand-embroidered vintage kimonos.
- Surprise Patterns: The pattern of your dress will be a surprise unless you order from our premium collection.
- Wait Time: Expect 12-15 weeks for the creation of your custom piece, as each dress is made-to-order with precision and care.
- Custom Fit, No Returns: Since this is a custom design, we won’t be able to accept returns for resizing, so make sure your measurements are spot on!
