How To Measure Your Size
Take all of your measurements over any undergarments. Use a flexible tape measure and hold it in a relaxed straight line when measuring around your body.
Chest / Bust
Place measuring tape under the arms to measure the distance around the shoulder blades and the fullest part of the bust/chest. Do not hold the tape too tight.
Waist
Loosely place the measuring tape around the natural waistline.
Hip
Stand with feet a few inches apart and measure around the fullest part of your hips wearing your undergarments.
Inseam
Measure along the inside of the leg, from just below the crotch to 1" below the ankle, or to the desired length of the pants.
