Should I also add an inch to the bust, waist, and hip measurements? I'd rather have to help people take them in a bit than have them too tight.

Any kind of trumpet skirt L.Rose recommends adding an inch and a half to length dancer orders in a circle skirt, it is the trumpet design that does not look very good if it is too high on the ankle. Goes for deluxe or regular trumpet skirt.
As far as the bust, waist, and hip - it's the fabric - velvet has waaaaaay more give than any of the metallic or halo lycras I order at least 2" wider in the hips and about 1" wider in the bust and waist - somehow on my hourglass figure, having that shiny lycra skin tight across hips is just, well, awful, even if it is a deluxe trumpet with the extra panel. But my velvet trumpet I wound up taking in - I ordered according to my exact measurements and it was too wide! I agree, it is a whole lot better to take in a dress or skirt than having it be too tight!
