    AMAZING seeing a body like mine measuring herself. Thank you. It's so hard to know if we should measure above or below the apron, or over or under a roll. Much love.

    As a retired Custom clothier, this is an amazingly instructive video! Thank you so much for giving me info I didn't know. I called the low waist "upper hips" and measuring under the tummy is a new thing for me. Thank you for the new info! ♥

    I just want to say thank you sooooo much. I have a plus sized body with a tummy that hangs down. I've been trying to find more androgynous looks that align with my gender identity and expression save it's been so difficult to understand all of the sizing charts. You have helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I cannot thank you enough 🥲😊💛
    I now keep a note in my phone of my measurements and size charts from stores or brands I buy most often! 💛

    I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH 🥺 because I am an apple shaped person and my low waste is the biggest part of my body and that’s why When I buy from SHEIN I bought clothes that were to small. I was so confused and was like I need this measurement and you explained it so well WHY we need it. I appreciate you so much I literally cried from release knowing i was missing something and you found it for me!

    Thank you Thank you Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I am petite with a big hanging belly but no butt, big thighs and upper arms but skinny arms and legs below the knees and elbows, big boobs and a plump face. I have had such a hard time getting my measurements because I do not have a defined waistline. Every article I see online is a skinny person with no belly. This is exactly what I needed. I am going to watch it again and take notes. I think I will finally have proper measurements so I can order the right sizes online for once.

    I cannot. CANNOT. Thank you enough for this video! Wife and I are ordering our wedding dresses, but we're both very chubby girls. Their instructions for measurements (despite their largest size actually being within our ranges) only show instructions for thinner bodies, without tummies involved. With this video, I can confidently get our measurements, and we'll have comfy dresses! You're just the best!

  • @jackiemojica3097
    @jackiemojica3097 ปีที่แล้ว

    I appreciate you talking about having a big hanging belly and no butt at all. My back side is flat with the top part being bigger. Unfortunately. Taking a low waist measurement didn't work for the specific garment I am trying to measure for cuz by my measurement and their size chart the size I should be in turned out way too big

  • @daniel51404

    Do you measure the fupa over the hip? Do you take the dress measurements a bit bigger to make room?

  • @FaunaJoy
    @FaunaJoy ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this is an older video, but I'm wondering if this method of measuring for plus size is one folks would recommend for a skin-tight/spandex outfit? I'm planning some cosplays that will be of that type, made with stretchable fabric. This is the first time I'm making that kind of thing, so I'm kinda flying by the seat of my pants.

  • @angelagonsor7414

Thank you again so much, I’ll be sure to utilize all the measurements and go forward to make the best clothing I can with this info, thank you again and have a great day!

    I've always used my low waist measurement as my hip measurement, but it makes sense to also get the underbelly hip as well. Thank you for posting your specific measurements, because whenever I watch a plus size channel, I wonder how the clothes would fit on my body, and really don't have any idea if the person is as close to my size/shape as they appear on camera. So that's really helpful!

    Some people may need a tape measure that's longer than 75 inches. Singer makes one that is 96 inches, Amazon lists it but then directs you to the Singer store. I have tape measures that are 120 inches, but got them decades ago. I don't know if they are still made. You can also tape together 2 or more standard tape measures and simply relabel the additional ones.

    • @FatGirlFlow
      @FatGirlFlow  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      YES thank you for pointing this out. I should have noted that there are larger ones out there and that I was using the one up to 75" for my own body!

    • @karenstimson2683
      @karenstimson2683 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was glad that you mentioned the 75 inch tape measure, and your video was very informative. Especially liked that you included the rise measurements. When I used to make custom jeans that was an essential measurement that none of my customers knew about until I told them. Please keep up the GREAT work!!!

    Whenever I try to measure myself I feel like I forget what my body looks like in a neutral position. I try to make sure I’m not sucking in, but then I feel like I over-relax and push my belly out which isn’t natural either!

    • @FatGirlFlow
      @FatGirlFlow  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is an excellent point about being in a neutral position. I find myself in tensed positions often so I like to tense my legs then relax them a couple times and it usually helps my bod relax!
