Hello, I'm wondering about the underwear recommendations. If the person always wears a padded bra, shouldn't that be worn during measurements as well? The reason I'm asking is that when a friend of mine had her wedding dress made she was asked what type of bra she was going to wear underneath, and the dress was fitted to suit it. Great video though, my boyfriend tried to take my measurements before we watched this and it was really hard.

Do you know where i can find a full body measurements size chart that has all these on ?

[mbyrne]

Happy to discover this video. Now trying to order a pattern from you and you are asking for "custom Knee ease" and "ankle ease"? What does that mean? Is that the knee and ankle circumference? or distance from hip to knee/waist to knee etc. I am confused.
