Female fashion models are seen in terms of measurements in order to fit the sample sizes for clothing. This is why it is critical that every model know her measurements and how to find them.

When you see the measurements: 34-24-34…those are the numbers that represent the bust/chest size, waist, and the hips of a person, male or female. It goes in that exact order every time.

 Step 1
To find your bust measurement: With your arms at your side, place the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms. Make sure that the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. The length indicated on the tape measure is your bust measurement.

Step 2
To find your waist measurement: While standing, wrap the tape measure around your natural waistline. Keep the tape comfortably loose. The length indicated on the tape measure is your waist measurement.

 

Step 3
To get your hip measurement: While standing with your feet together, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your body between your waist and your knees. This is approximately 20 cm (8 inches) below your waist. Make sure that the tape measure remains parallel to the floor. The length indicated on the tape measure is your hip measurement.
To get your lower hip measurement: Put the measuring tape a little above your butt, this is the measurement for how wide your hips are including your butt. So that means you should place the tape loosely but snug right around the middle of your backside.

 

Step 4
To find the inseam: Lay flat a pair of pants that fit you well. Using a measuring tape, measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the pant along the seam. The length indicated on the tape measure is your inseam.

How to Put Together a Modeling Portfolio

Step 1
Before even attempting to put together a modeling portfolio, it is important to know what type of modeling you can do. Freelance models have greater flexibility in this area but should focus on a main category they will receive the most work in. If you do swim wear, glamour or nude, then those are the types of photos you should have in your portfolio. High fashion models should have high fashion images in their portfolios. Be realistic, If you are too short for fashion.

Step 2
You have to find a photographer you want to work with, meet with him/her before your shoot to discuss the themes, concepts and/or looks you are going for. Explain what types of photos you’d like to try. From here you two can agree on locations, outfits, date, time, etc.

Step 3
Make sure you have everything you need packed before your shoot so you don’t forget anything. You should have your hair and makeup professionally done as well to guarantee the best images.

Step 4
Once you have taken your photos, it’s time to review them and pick the best. Out of the bunch you’ll want to make sure to have the following among your images: headshot, ¾ body shot, full body shot. You’ll want different outfits, poses and locations to show diversity as well.

Step 5
After the key images have been selected, you can put them together in a photo album.

Step 6
As your modeling career progresses, update your images in your portfolio to reflect your most current work. In addition to regular modeling photos, include any tearsheets you get. These are pages taken directly from the published work you have appeared in. Tearsheets are vital to a model’s portfolio because it showcases actual work, which is very impressive to clients.
