How to Measure Guidelines
In order to achieve accurate results, please have someone else do the measurements for you.
Using a dressmakers measuring tape, stand upright holding your body in a natural position, keeping your breathing regular. We want your clothing to be comfortable, so take care not to pull your measuring tape too tight… and remember, you won't be wearing your new garment over your jeans; take your measurements while in your lightweight leggings and tee.
Chest:
Place the tape measure under your arms, across your shoulder blades and over the fullest part of your chest. Drop your arms comfortably to your sides. Make sure the measuring tape is laying flat against the body.
Neck:
Using a measuring tape measure around the lower part of the neck, about 1” below your Adam’s apple. To ensure a comfortable fit at the neck, with the measuring tape in place, place 2 fingers between the neck and the measuring tape; this will ensure a fitted but breathable neckline.
Breadth of Back:
Place the measuring tape at backside of underarm base and measure across to back side base of other underarm (in center of shoulder blades).
Waist:
Place the measuring tape around the waist starting at the naval and continue around the body.
Hip:
With feet together place the tape measure around the fullest part of your bottom and bring evenly around to the front.
Garment Length:
A) Place measuring tape at nape of neck in center of back and measure down to waist.
B) Place measuring at nape of neck and measure down to tailbone.
