02 / A little preparation

Measure with confidence.

Use a soft tape, wear light clothing, and ask someone to help for the most accurate measurements.

  1. 01

    Chest / bust

    Measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust. Keep the tape level and snug, without pulling it tight.

    Stand naturally and keep your arms relaxed.

  2. 02

    Waist

    Measure around your natural waistline, usually the narrowest part of your torso.

    Breathe normally and avoid pulling in your stomach.

  3. 03

    Hips

    Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape level all the way around.

    Keep your feet together and measure over undergarments.

  4. 04

    Shoulders

    Measure across your back, from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other.

    Ask someone to help you take this measurement.

  5. 05

    Sleeve length

    Measure from your shoulder point down to your wrist bone, with your arm slightly bent.

    Use a well-fitting shirt as a reference.

  6. 06

    Inseam

    Measure from the crotch seam to your desired hem, along the inside of your leg.

    A pair of pants that fits well makes a useful reference.
