Tips for measuring
1. Always use a cloth or a flexible plastic measuring tape, never a metal one. This will ensure that you’re measuring your body accurately.
2. When measuring around your body keep the tape measure comfortably snug rather than slack or tight.
Most clothing lines use the measurement of the “natural waist” for their size guides. To measure your natural waist, you want to find the narrowest part of your waist, located above your belly button and below your rib cage. If the garment lists a “low” waist measurement you would measure at the point where the top of your trousers would normally sit.
Stand in a natural stance with your legs together and measure the fullest part of your hips. Be sure to go over your buttocks as well. You may find it hard to keep the tape horizontal consistently when you do it alone so it may be worth asking a friend to help or try doing it in front of a mirror.
This measurement is used for trousers and leggings. The inseam is the distance from the crotch down the inside of the leg, to the bottom seam of the trouser or legging. It is easiest to measure the inseam based on a well-fitting pair of trousers. It’s usually the number of inches, to the nearest ½”, or the nearest full CM. It’s best to measure your inseam with a pair of shoes on so that you can ensure the hem hits at the right point, either covering your shoe or higher on your ankle if you prefer. Keep in mind that an accurate inseam measurement depends on whether you’re intending to wear heels or flats with the garment and where you want the bottom of the leg to sit.
This is usually only necessary with long sleeve items. You may need a friend to assist you for measuring sleeve length. Bend one arm at a 90 degree angle and place your hand on your hip. Have a friend measure from the centre of your back at the base of your neck, across your shoulder, down to your arm to your elbow and then to your wrist for your full sleeve measurement. Sleeve sizes are always in whole numbers; round up to the nearest whole number if needed.
