Bust:Place the tape measure under your arms, around your body over the fullest part of your bust. Make sure the tape is even around the back and spans across your shoulder blades. Also, remember to breathe out first... a little moment to relax!
Waist:Measure around the narrowest part of your waist. To find it precisely here's a tip: just bend slightly forward, it is the point where your body creases.
Note: Most of our trousers are designed to be worn at natural waist, below or low waist unless otherwise described:
1) Natural waist (that you just measured)
2) Below natural waist - which means about 1 inch below your natural waist
3) Low waist - which means about 2 inches below your natural waist
Hips:Standing with your feet together measure you hips at the widest point (over your bottom). Or for the perfectionists:tie a length of string around your waist to mark the waist and then measure down 20cm (8in) from the string. Mark this spot and measure around it!
Leg Length: With the help of your friend or by securing the end of the tape under the arch of your foot, measure up until your crotch. Take in consideration the measurement from where your our trouser is usually worn on. The length you choose will depend also your height and whether you want to wear flats or heels.
