This is one that may be easier with the help of a friend. Measure across your upper back from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other. Try not to hunch over.
How to Measure?
Chest
Measure all the way around your torso immediately above your bust.
How to Measure?
Bust
Wearing your usual bra, with arms relaxed at your sides, measure your bust at the fullest point, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. It takes it past over both nipples, under the armhole and over the shoulder blades, around your back about where your bra strap is.
How to Measure?
Under Bust
Measure all the way around your torso immediately beneath your bust.
How to Measure?
Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of the natural waistline. To find your natural waistline, bend to one side. There will usually be a crease where you bend. Often it is just below your ribcage. That’s your natural waistline. Don’t worry since this may seem higher than where you actually wear your pants and jeans. But this is the point that is so important for a great fit. Try to keep the tape measure parallel to the floor as you measure all the way around your torso. That’s your natural Waist Circumference.
How to Measure?
Hip
Standing with heels together, measure around your body at the broadest part of your hips (approximately 8 inches below natural waistline). This will include the fullest part of your backside too and should be just about where your legs meets your torso.
How to Measure?
Upper Arm
Place the tape measure around the widest part of your upper arm, your bicep. Then bend your arm slightly at the elbow. We want to be able to bend your arm in that nature.
How to Measure?
HPS to Bust Point
Start from where your shoulder meets your neck and measure down along the front of your body to the tip (apex) of the bust.
How to Measure?
HPS to Waist
For best results, tie a ribbon (or string or skinny belt) at your natural waist (the narrowest part of the waistline) to mark it. Then start from where your shoulder meets your neck and measure down following along the curve of your front to the marker at your natural waist. It might be helpful to ask someone to help with this measurement!
How to Measure?
HPS to Knee
Start from where your shoulder meets your neck and measure down following along the curve of your front to your natural waistline and then down along to your knee. For best results, ask someone to help with this measurement!
