How to Measure
How to Measure
Grab a soft measuring tape and two minutes. Accurate measurements are the fastest way to skip a return.
Covers tops, blouses, sweaters, cardigans, jackets, coats, blazers, dresses and jumpsuits.
1
Chest
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level and parallel to the floor. Snug, not tight — you should be able to slide a finger underneath.
2
Shoulder
Measure straight across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, where a shoulder seam would sit.
3
Front Length
Starting at the top of your shoulder near the neck, measure straight down to where you'd like the garment to end. Or lay a favorite top flat and measure shoulder seam to hem.
4
Sleeve Length
With your arm relaxed and slightly bent, measure from the edge of your shoulder down the outside of your arm to your wrist bone.
Covers jeans, trousers, leggings, skirts and shorts.
1
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — the narrowest point of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Keep the tape level and breathe normally.
2
Hip
Stand with feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
3
Front Length
Measure from your natural waistline straight down to where you'd like the hem to fall. For pants or jeans, comparing to a well-fitting pair you already own (measured flat, waistband to hem) is often the most accurate check.
Covers tops, shirts, sweaters, cardigans, jackets, coats and blazers.
