How to Measure Your Size

? How to Measure Your Size — A Simple Guide for Perfect Fit

Finding the perfect outfit starts with the perfect fit. Whether you’re shopping for a dress, a shirt, or a pair of pants, knowing your measurements ensures you’ll love how it feels and looks. Here’s a quick guide to help you measure yourself accurately at home.


? What You’ll Need:

  • A soft measuring tape
  • A mirror (optional, but helpful)
  • A friend (for extra accuracy)

? 1. Bust / Chest

How to Measure:
Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust/chest, making sure it’s straight across your back.

Tip: Breathe normally and don’t pull too tight.


? 2. Waist

How to Measure:
Measure around your natural waist — usually the narrowest part of your torso, just above the belly button.

Tip: Leave a finger space between the tape and your body for comfort.


? 3. Hips

How to Measure:
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.

Tip: Keep the tape level with the floor all the way around.


? 4. Shoulder Width (for Tops & Jackets)

How to Measure:
Measure from the tip of one shoulder to the other, across the back.

Tip: Best measured with help from a friend.


? 5. Length (Dress or Top)

How to Measure:
Start from the top of your shoulder (next to your neck) and measure down to where you want the hem to fall.

Tip: Use a top or dress you already love as a reference.


? Pro Sizing Tips:

  • Always measure over light, fitted clothing — or none at all for best results.
  • Double-check your size guide! Different brands may use different sizing.
  • When in doubt, size up — it’s easier to tailor down than stretch up.
