How to Measure Yourself

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wear fitted clothing or measure over undergarments.
Stand tall, yet relaxed, embracing your natural posture.
Keep the measuring tape snug but comfortable — elegance lies in balance.
Measure twice to ensure perfection.

Measurement Guide

Bust / Chest – Gently wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust or chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. Relax your arms at your sides to capture the natural silhouette.

Waist – Measure the narrowest part of your waist, just above the belly button. Maintain a natural posture; elegance is effortless.

Hips – Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and rear, keeping it level. Stand with feet together for accuracy.

Inseam – Measure from the top of your inner thigh to the ankle. Use a pair of pants that already fit beautifully for guidance.

Sleeve Length – Measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone, keeping a gentle bend in the arm for comfort and grace.

Shoulder Width – Measure from one shoulder seam to the other across your back, standing tall yet relaxed.

Tip: Record your measurements and keep them close — each designer and artisan piece may vary slightly. Your perfect fit is worth the care.

When we describe a piece as artisan, it means it has been crafted with skill, care, and creativity by an individual maker or small workshop — not mass-produced in a factory. These items often reflect the personal vision of the artist, incorporating unique materials, traditional techniques, or cultural heritage into each creation. Because artisan pieces are made in small quantities (sometimes as one-of-a-kind works), no two are exactly alike, giving you something truly special that carries the maker’s touch and story. Why This Matters for Our Vintage & Handmade Collection Many of the treasures you’ll find at The Landing World — from vintage designer finds to handmade and artisan-crafted goods — are rare, one-of-a-kind, or produced in limited runs. Some are discounted final sale pieces, offered at exceptional value, but with the understanding that they are sold as is with no exchanges or returns. We believe these items are more than just products — they are works of art, expressions of culture, and lasting keepsakes that bring character and meaning to your personal style.

What is Women’s Resort Wear?
Women’s resort wear blends elegance and comfort, designed for warm-weather getaways. It includes flowy dresses, lightweight tops, versatile skirts, and chic accessories perfect for tropical vacations, beach resorts, or luxury cruises. The focus is on breathable fabrics, vibrant patterns, and practical designs that suit both daytime relaxation and evening elegance.



Daytime Essentials for Women
For the day, pack versatile options like maxi dresses, sundresses, or stylish jumpsuits. Pair lightweight shorts or skirts with breezy tops, and don't forget swimwear with matching cover-ups such as kaftans or sarongs. Comfortable sandals or espadrilles complete the perfect daytime look while keeping your feet cool and relaxed. Swimsuits should be modest and must cover your bottoms to align with resort expectations. Unless you’re going to Las Vegas then go ALL out on Swimwear and Dresses.



Evening Elegance for Resort Chic
As the sun sets, elevate your style with wrap dresses, cocktail dresses, or an elegant jumpsuit. Choose dressy flats or heeled sandals to complement the outfit. Accessories like statement earrings, clutch bags, or a delicate shawl add sophistication to your evening ensemble, ensuring you meet the "resort chic" or "smart casual" dress codes many resorts require.



Packing Tips and Accessories
To complete your resort wear wardrobe, include wide-brimmed hats, UV-protective sunglasses, and a spacious beach tote for daytime needs. Jewelry should be kept minimal during the day but can add a touch of glam in the evening. By packing versatile pieces and accessories, you’ll be ready to enjoy your tropical getaway in style and comfort.

Appropriate resort wear is all about blending comfort, style, and practicality. Whether lounging by the pool or enjoying a candlelit dinner by the beach, choosing the right attire will ensure you feel fabulous and vacation-ready. Enjoy your getaway in style!
