Measurement Tips

All you need is a cloth tape measure, a full-length mirror and someone to help you. Pull the tape measure snugly but not too tightly. It’s best to measure when you’re completely undressed, or wearing very lightweight clothing. And be sure to keep your arms at your side and to stand up straight.

  1. Start with your bust. This is taken around the fullest part.
  2. Next, measure your waist at the narrowest part. For most women, this is about an inch above your belly button.
  3. Measure your hips last. Be sure to measure the fullest part of your hips, which is usually about 7 to 8 inches below your waist.
