Measurements!

Most definitely, accurate measurements are key.  So why not write them down?  And the more body parts you measure, the better.  Nobody likes an uninformed dressmaker. 

This chart is just too adorable, and especially handy if you are working with a pattern.  I suggest you print it out and find yourself a pencil and a measuring tape right now, before I stop typing.  Before.  I.  Stop. Typing . . .
