BODY MEASUREMENT TIPS
OUR LENGTH OPTIONS
Measuring yourself will give you a more accurate idea of your size. Once you have determined your body measurement, it’s a good idea to consider your body shape and the styles and cuts to suit both your body measurements and shape.
Find yourself a tape measure for accuracy. Ideally, you should measure when wearing only your undergarments. Do NOT measure yourself wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing - the results will be inaccurate.
Measurements for product descriptions vary based on style; check the product page to confirm. We recommend choosing the length option based on your height and body type - some taller folks but have longer torsos and shorter legs and vice versa. All bodies are beautiful and different!
BUST - Measure the bust at the fullest part. Measure all around the body (total circumference).
WAIST - Measure around the natural waistline – the narrowest part of your waist – keeping the tape comfortably loose. The size of your waist, hips and bust may give you an idea of your body shape. An Hourglass body shape for instance, will have a small waist and bigger bust and hips.
HIPS - Measure around the fullest part of the hips. This is different for everyone; if you are unsure, take several measurements in this region and use the biggest measurement.
INSIDE LEG - Run the tape measure from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle bone to determine your legs’ length.
HIGH HIP - Measure around the fullest part, about 3 - 4" below the waist. This is helpful when fitting a slim skirt or pants (to get an accurate idea of the shape of the hip, or the belly).
FRONT WAIST LENGTH - Start at the shoulder (right next to the base of the neck), and measure to the waist, measuring over the fullest part of the bust.
BACK WAIST LENGTH - Measure from the base of the neck (in the center, not the side), to the center of the waistline.
ARM LENGTH - Measure from the top of the arm (find the bone at the shoulder/top of arm) to the wrist (find the bone at the side of the wrist),
WITH THE ELBOW BENT - It's important to keep the elbow bent to allow for movement when you make a sleeve.
