How to take body measurements
To choose the correct size for you, measure your body as follows:
- BUST
- Wrap the measuring tape around your back and under your arms at the fullest part of your bust.
- WAIST
- Stand up straight and bend to one side - the crease created is your natural waist. Wrap your measuring tape around the narrowest part of your natural waist.
- HIPS
- To measure you hips, start by standing with your feet together. Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt.
Before you start you need:
- Approximately 10 minutes.
- A flexible measuring tape.
- Stand in front of a mirror or have someone on standby to assist you.
Bra or no bra? Decide whether you will be wearing a bra or no bra with the garment, as your bust level and circumference measurement will change with and without a bra.
Good Posture. Stand upright in a relaxed position with your feet together. Don't suck in your tummy, to avoid a potentially tight fitting garment.
