It is very important that your size charts contain instructions measurements that are clear and easy to read by your customers. Below you will find detailed and clear instructions for measuring different body parts.
Bust:
- Stand up straight and relax your arms.
- Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring it’s parallel to the floor.
- Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight and doesn’t compress the breasts.
Waist:
- Locate your natural waist, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso.
- Stand up straight and breathe normally.
- Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, just above your belly button.
- Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight.
Hips:
- Stand with your feet together.
- Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
- Ensure the tape is parallel to the floor and not too tight.
Inseam:
- Wear a pair of well-fitting pants and stand with your legs slightly apart.
- Have someone assist you or use a full-length mirror.
- Measure from the crotch seam (where the leg of the pants meets the groin) down to the desired length (e.g., ankle or floor).
Neck:
- Stand up straight and keep your head in a normal, upright position.
- Wrap the measuring tape around the base of your neck, just below your Adam’s apple.
- Allow for a comfortable fit by leaving enough space for a finger to slip between the tape and your neck.
Arm length:
- Stand up straight and relax your arms by your sides.
- Bend your elbow at a 90-degree angle.
- Measure from the prominent bone at the base of your neck (the bone that sticks out when you tilt your head forward) to your wrist bone or desired sleeve length.
Shoulder Width:
- Stand up straight with your arms relaxed by your sides.
- Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other shoulder.
- Ensure the tape is straight and parallel to the floor.
Back Length:
- Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart.
- Place the measuring tape at the base of your neck, where it meets your shoulders
