How to Measure Yourself for Clothing
-
Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground.
-
Waist: Measure at the narrowest part of your waist, just above your belly button.
-
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 7–9 inches below your waist.
-
Inseam: For pants, measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of your ankle.
Pro Tip: Wear fitted clothing or undergarments while measuring, and ask someone to help for the most accurate results.
Decoding Size Labels
-
Numerical sizes (0–24): Standard US sizing, but can vary by brand.
-
Letter sizes (XS–3X): General fit, but always check the brand’s chart.
-
International conversions: European and UK sizes are different-always use a conversion chart if shopping globally.
Fit Tips for Every Body
-
Shoulders: Seams should align with the edge of your shoulder.
-
Bust: No gaping or pulling at buttons.
-
Waist: Comfortable fit-two fingers should fit between your body and the waistband.
-
Hips: No pulling or sagging.
Sizes can vary between brands and even between styles. Always check the specific size chart for each product, and don’t be discouraged if your size changes from brand to brand!
