Measuring Clothing Size

 Measuring clothing size doesn't need to be difficult, for most clothing, you need to measure your waist, hips and bust. Following the guide will give you specifics on where to measure.

 Bust: Measure circumference around the bust at the fullest part. Use a flexible measuring tape, and keep it parallel with the floor.

 Waist: Measure your body around your natural waistline. Your waistline is usually just above your belly button (narrowest part of torso). Not sure where your waistline is?

 Stand in front of a mirror, and bend to one side. Your waistline is simply where you can see a natural indentation in the torso on the side.

 Hips: Measure circumference around your hips at the fullest part.

Take the hip measurement, measure at the widest part of the hip. Go straight around the body at this area. Keep the line straight, even as you go across your backside in the rear, to get an accurate hip measurement.

 Don’t pull the measuring tape tight. It should fit close but not tight. If it's too tight you will get a smaller size that won't fit.

 Inseam: Measure inside of the leg from crotch to the bottom of the anklebone
