Measuring your size correctly is important if you want to find clothes that fit well - especially when
shopping online. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to measure yourself correctly:
You´ll need a soft measuring tape, a mirror (preferably full-body) and tight-fitting or no clothing.
A. Chest width
- Women: Measure around the widest point of your chest
- Men: Measure under your arms and over your chest muscles.
Tip: Keep the measuring tape horizontal and not too tight.
B. Waist width
- Measure around the narrowest point of your stomach – typically just above your belly button.
Avoid tucking in your stomach.
C. Hip width
- Measure around the widest point of your hips and buttocks.
Stand with your feet together.
D. Pants/Skirt length from waist
- Measure from the waist down to the bottom of the style
Tip: Wear a pair of pants that fit well and measure in them.
F. Full length from HPS
- Measure from the higest point of shoulder to the bottom of style.
E. Arm length from center back
