ictures

transfer your pictures to your computer
open up your notepad, or word or publisher program

copy and paste the pictures to a page in a notepad, word or publisher program

make the pictures smaller so they don't take up the whole page, regular
photo size (4 inches x 6 inches) is good; you can do this by clicking on the picture,
pointing the mouse to the corner of the picture until you see an arrow. With the
mouse clicked on, move the corner of the picture towards the center of the picture
until you have the desired size.

says attachments, you will be able to browse or click where on your computer you

What measurements do you take?

High Bust

measure around your body just above your bust and just under your armpits, trying

keep the tape measure at the same height in back as you have it in front.

if you have a hollow chest where you had your mastectomy surgery, so that your one

side of the upper chest is smaller than the other, then measure the two sides

separately, ( I

know I said just 5 measurements, maybe we can count these two as 1

measurement?)

measure from the center of your chest bone in front to the center of your back bone

in the back on both sides of your body

Full Bust

measure around your body over the fullest part of your bust, take this measurement

with

your bra on and your breast form prosthesis inside

Rib Cage

measure around your body just under your bust, the place where your bra band

usually is

Waist

bend toward the side, take note of the place where you get a crease in the side

measure around your body at this crease (it doesn't matter whether you usually wear

your clothes at this waist level, it is just a marker for me to know how wide I need to

make

your mastectomy garment at this level)

High Hip

find the place on your body that is 3 1/2 inches below your waist (where the crease is

)

measure around your body trying to keep the tape measure level all the way around

know this one can be difficult because the tape measure wants to keep sliding

down,

but just

do the best that you can, it will give me an idea of how wide to make the

garment at this level
