Measuring Guide

Relax your tape measure. Your clothes should feel comfortable, so no need to pull your tape measure too tight. It’s often easier for someone else to place the tape measure in the proper place, so consider measuring with a friend.

Bust: Place the tape measure under your arms, measuring across the fullest part of your bust and shoulder blades.  Be sure your arms are relaxed at your sides when you take this measurement. Remember to breathe out first and relax.

Waist: Measure around your natural waist - this is the smallest part of your waist. You can pinpoint it by bending to the side.

Hips: With your legs closed, measure around the fullest part of your hips, including your bottom (about 9 inches below your natural waist). Again, be sure you’re not skimping here.
