How to Measure for women
This size chart is for reference purposes only.
Sizes provided in our listings is for the garment measurements. Your item selection should be slightly bigger then your own body measurements to ensure a comfortable fit.
Make sure to keep the measuring tape level!
1 - Bust
Measure the circumference of your bust. Place one end of the tape measure at the fullest part of your bust, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
2 - Upper Waist
Measure around the ribcage directly under the bust. Make sure the measuring tape fits comfortably as you measure.
3 - Lower Waist
Measure the circumference of your waist. Use the tape to circle your waist (sort of like a belt would) at your natural waistline, which is located above your belly button and below your rib cage. (If you bend to the side, the crease that forms is your natural waistline.) Don’t suck in your stomach, or you’ll get a false measurement. Make sure the measuring tape fits comfortably as you measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist.
4 - Hips
Stand with your feet together, and measure around the widest part of your hips. Start at one hip and wrap the tape measure around your rear, around the other hip, and back to where you started. Make sure the tape is over the largest part of your buttocks. Because making sure the tape is level back there can be hard, try to do it in front of a mirror.
5 - Sleeve Length
For a perfect sleeve, the shoulder seam should rest at the edge of your shoulder, just where it begins to slope (not resting at the top of your shoulder or drooping down to your upper arm). Let the end of the measuring tape come down to the break of your wrist, or the wrist bone. Be sure to relax your arms, allowing them to bend slightly. If you keep your arms unnaturally straight while taking your sleeve measurement, your garment’s sleeves will be too short once you move your arm.
6 - Shoulder
Think of a line going from your armpit straight upwards to your shoulder. Measure between those two points and hold the tape measure straight.
7 - Height
Before measuring height, remove shoes as these can throw off the measurement. Keep feet flat on the floor and stand straight. Place the measuring tape at the bone at the nape of the neck down to the floor.
8 - Outer Leg
Measured from waist to toe.
9 - INNER Leg
Measured from inside the leg from crotch to toe.
