Measuring Tips For Clothing

NOTE 

Please strictly follow the size chart to select the size. Do not select directly according to your habits.

The bust measurement,

start by wrapping the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust:

• Wrap snugly but not tightly, going under the arms and all the way around
• The tape should be parallel to the ground
• Wear a bra for measurement accuracy

 

The bust length and hem length

• For a shoulder to bust-length, place the tape tip on the top of your shoulder and bring it down to the bottom of your bust
• For the entire length, start from the shoulder to where you want the hem to be
• Keep the tape at a 90-degree angle from the ground

 

The sleeve length and arm circumference

• For circumference, wrap the tape around the widest part of your upper arm. Bend your arm at the elbow so it leaves a little room for movement

 

• For length, simply place the tape at the end of your shoulder and down to where you want the sleeve to finish

 

The shoulder width

• Measure the widest point of your back from one shoulder edge to the other
• Tape should be parallel to the ground

 

 

The waist:

• Wrap the measuring tape the whole way around your waist, just under your ribcage.
• To find the perfect spot, bend to one side and notice the crease formed under your ribcage, that’s where the tape should be
• Keep the tape parallel to the ground

 

The hips

• Measure around your backside at the fullest point
• Keep the tape parallel to the ground

 

The inner seam

• Measure your inner leg from the crotch to where you desire the hem to be
• Tape should be at 90-degrees from the ground

 

The outer seam

• Measure the side of your leg from the waistline to where the pants will end
• Tape should be at 90-degrees from the ground

 

The total rise

• Place the tape at the centre of your waist and measure down to the crotch. For a higher or lower waist measure accordingly as desired.
• Tape should be at a 90-degree angle from the ground
