MEASUREMENT GUIDE

1️⃣ What You Need

• Flexible measuring tape (soft cloth or plastic tape)
• Mirror (to check tape is level)
• Pen and paper to record numbers
• Light clothing or underwear

2️⃣ How To Measure

A. Upper Body / Tops / Dresses

Bust / Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest. Make sure it is level all around and not tight. Keep your arms relaxed.

Underbust
Measure directly under your bust. Useful for fitted tops and structured dresses.

Waist
Find your natural waist (narrowest point above belly button). Stand naturally — do not suck in.

Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually 7–9 inches below the waist.

Shoulder Width
Measure from shoulder tip to shoulder tip across the back. Keep tape straight.

Arm Length
Bend your elbow slightly. Measure from shoulder tip to wrist.

Neck Circumference
Wrap tape around base of neck. Leave a finger’s width for comfort.

B. Lower Body / Pants / Skirts

Waist – Measure at natural waistline.

Hips – Around fullest part of hips/buttocks.

Thigh – Around fullest part of thigh.

Inseam – From crotch to ankle (inner leg). Best measured using well-fitting pants.

Outseam – From waist to ankle along outside leg.

C. Full-Body / Dresses / Jackets

Torso Length – From shoulder top to waist, or shoulder top to hem for long dresses.

Back Length – From nape of neck to waistline.

3️⃣ Tips For Accurate Measurement

• Stand naturally — do not hold breath.
• Keep tape snug but not tight (finger should fit underneath).
• Double-check each measurement.
• Record in centimeters or inches consistently.
• For tailored garments, measurements are preferred over standard size charts.
