How to take dress measurements?

My friend is asking if I can measure her so she can order a bridesmaid dress, but I'm not 100% how to. Where do I measure? Anything I should add to the measurement?

I know it seems silly, but I don't want to tell her one thing and have her in a dress that doesn't fit.

TIA

~Ashley~

you don't add anything and you find your natural waist by bending over to one side and seeing where the crinkle is.

Hip is the biggest part, whether it is around your belly or around your thighs.

Bust is fullest part again, make sure the tape is level.
