Both are measured from the shoulder. Measured by hand; allow 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) tolerance. Size by her chest first, since the bodice is fitted and the rhinestone belt sits at the natural waist, then check the height. Between two sizes, take the larger — the sash ties in at the back to take up the slack, and the back hem is meant to be long.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions moms ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow much longer is the back than the front?\u003c\/strong\u003e Roughly 12 inches at every size — 25.6\" front to 37.4\" back in a size 6, 33.5\" to 45.3\" in a size 16.
