How To Measure Your Size For Clothing
To determine your clothing size, you'll need to measure various parts of your body. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Remember, accurate measurements are key to finding the right fit. If you're uncertain, you might also consider seeking assistance from a tailor or a friend to ensure precise measurements.Before you begin measuring, gather the necessary tools: a flexible measuring tape, a mirror (optional), and a piece of paper to record your measurements.
Step 2: Measure Your Body
Wear form-fitting clothing or underwear and stand naturally with your feet together and arms at your sides. Use the measuring tape to record the following measurements:
-
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping the tape under your armpits and across your shoulder blades.
-
Sleeve Length: Measure from where the shoulder seam meets the body to the sleeve opening.
-
Shoulder Width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other.
-
Torso Length: Measure from the base of your neck down to where you want a shirt or jacket to end.
