How to Take Measurements

To find your best size, take four basic measurements: bust, waist, hips, and height. To ensure the most accurate result, it’s important to take them carefully — use a soft measuring tape, stand naturally, and keep the tape level without pulling it too tight.

Step 1 – Measure Around the Fullest Part of Your Bust

Wear a supportive bra that reflects your natural shape. Avoid sports bras or compression garments, as they can change the result.

Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Check in a mirror that the measuring tape stays level from front to back and remains parallel to the floor.

Step 2 – Measure Around the Narrowest Part of Your Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually slightly above the belly button and below the ribcage.

Avoid measuring where jeans or skirts usually sit. Use a mirror to check that the tape stays straight and level all the way around.

Step 3 – Measure Around the Fullest Part of Your Hips

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.

Make sure the tape remains parallel to the floor and does not ride up in the back.

Step 4 – Measure Your Height Without Shoes

Measure your height without shoes while standing straight against a wall.

Height affects more than dress length. It can also influence bodice proportions, waist placement, skirt length, and sleeve length.
