HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BODY

Get the measuring tape, and don’t forget to keep it tight but comfortable while measuring your body.
Measurements are more accurate if done by someone else.  
  • SHOULDERS LENGTH: Measure the straight line between the top point of your shoulders.
  • ARM CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around your biceps (at the fullest part).
  • BUST CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around your body, under your arms, and over the fullest part of your bust. Dear Ladies, please measure your bust when wearing a bra.
  • UNDERBUST CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around your body, right under your bust.
  • NATURAL (HIGH) WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around your body at the natural waistline (usually 1-2 cm above the belly button).
  • LOW WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around your body 3-5 cm under the natural waistline.
  • HIPS CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
  • THIGH CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around the fullest part of your thigh.
  • CALF CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around the fullest part of your calf.

Where should you get measuring tape? Buy it at any sewing supplies or hobby shop or visit a sewing salon and ask the tailor or seamstress to take your measurements.

USEFUL TIP if you do not have a measuring tape: Take your measurements with a rope or string, then place them on the ruler.
