Tips to consider before taking measurements
AIn order to make it easier to take your measurements, we recommend that you dress comfortably, yet wearing clothes that are close to your body. The idea is not to add any additional volume that would distort the measurements. Try to adopt a relaxed but upright posture and, when taking measurements, to keep two fingers flat between the body and the tape as shown in the image below. This is a safety margin for ease. We also recommend using a mirror, that will be very helpful to double check you’re doing it right. Finally, make sure you always keep the tape horizontally & parallel to the ground.
Measurements
-
The bust: This is the fullest part of the chest.
-
The waist measurement : if you lean on the side, you will find a hollow between what are called « love handles ». This is where the measurement should be taken.
- The hips : Like the chest, this is the fullest part of the hips. All you have to do is find your hip bone, the one you’ve probably hit a few times.
-
Length of the arms : Note that this measurement is much easier to take with someone’s help. Your companion should choose a spine bone about 3 inches below the neck. From there, move it towards the top of the shoulder. Then, from the tip of the shoulder, go down to your bent elbow. Finally, measure your arm down to the desired sleeve length.
