Sizing Guide
Taking your measurements:
-
In order to calculate your size, you need to take a variety of measurements. When measuring for your size, take the following:
-
Bust: Measure around the fullest part (the middle of your bust.) This is the measurement that we use to determine the top size.
-
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline- this is usually in line with your navel.
-
Hips: Measure the widest part. Usually, our measuring tape should cross around the middle of our behind, around 8 inches below our waistline.
-
In order to choose your bottom size, your hips and waist measurements will help you choose the size that is true to your body. Out of these two measurements, the waist measurements are always more important.
The Basics
A large part of getting your measurements right is knowing how to stand while you take them. If you are sitting or putting more weight on one side while standing, for example, this can result in inaccurate measurements. Here are a few tips to help you:
-
Stand in a natural position, balanced and relaxed
-
Look forward
-
Straighten your back
-
Relax your arms
-
Put your feet together
-
When we are taking the measurements the measuring tape should always be parallel to the floor.
The Tools
To successfully take your measurements, you will need a few key pieces:
-
Measuring tape
-
Form-fitting clothes or little clothes, in order to get the closest to reality measurements
-
Your bra is also important, if you wear a padded one or a push up bra, this affects your bust measurements. Take your measurements with the one you use the most.
