Measurments to include when ordering from a Taobao shop.

[christinablue.livejournal.com]

So, I'm going to make my first Taobao order soon (nervous!!), and will be ordering custom sizes for everything. Of course, I imagine I should include bust, waist, hip, arm (for blouses) and length measurements, but is there anything else I should include - like shoulder width, neck width? (Not like I have an unusually large neck. xD) And when ordering a custom blouse for length - the standard is measuring from the back of the neck (where the collar would be) to the point where you'd like it to end, right?

It's been so long since I ordered anything custom. So any pointers would be appreciated, ladies! :)

PS: I looked for one in the memories and search, but is there a Taobao FAQ anywhere? If not, we should totally make one.
