Bust – This is not your bra size! Wearing a bra (Not padded) measure the fullest part of your bust, and across your back, keeping the tape level. Keep a thumb inside the tape and take a breath. If the tape slides down, it’s too loose, and if it creates an indent in your bra, it’s too tight. Go for a Goldilocks “just right” kind of fit!
Waist – Measure the smallest part of your waist, which is actually about two inches above your belly button. When you bend to one side, “little tea-pot style”, the smallest part of your waist will be between your rib cage and your belly button. Stand with your stomach at it’s natural position. Leave a little room by keeping a thumb on the inside of the tape and again, take a breath. The tape should be snug, but not restricting.
Hips – Measure the fullest part of your hips, which is down around your bum, not where your jeans sit. Make sure your back pockets are empty and the tape measure stays parallel to the floor.
Hollow to Hem – Take this measurement from the indent in your collar bone to length you require. Bare feet and looking straight ahead have someone help you.
Sleeve Lengths: It is a good idea to include your bicep measurement as well if you want a close fitting sleeve.
