Chest/Bust:
Raise your arms slightly and measure around your body. Keep the tape firmly under your arms and around your shoulder blades. Measure over the fullest part of your chest/bust while keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Remember to keep the measuring tape comfortably loose.
Waist:
Measure around your waist-or where you normally wear your pants. Place your index finger between your body and the tape to allow accurate fit. For a baggy/relaxed fit add 2-4 inches to waist size.
*Most pants can be worn at either the waist or at the hip. To determine correct size, measure where you want the pants to fit and order that size.
Hips:
Placing the tape midway between your crotch and the belly button, with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your body at the top of your legs. Keep the tape measure loose.
Inseam:
Take a pair of pants that fit your well and lay them flat. Measure the distance along the inseam between the crotch and the leg hem. |
