You will need:
a measuring tape (either in inches or in centimeters),
a full-length mirror,
a few cords of rope or ribbon and,
someone to help you take some of the measurements.
Additionally, make sure that you are wearing something sleeveless and tight so that it is easier for you to identify the points on your body that need to be measured. Before you start taking your measurements, take the ropes or ribbons that you have and tie them around the lines as indicated in the image below. This will help your identify and maintain the chest line, waist line, etc
