How do I find my right size?
Did you know that the most common reason for returns in the fashion sector is a wrong size? Not surprising, is it? The best thing you can do is write down your measurements and carry them with you as a note on your cell phone. A one-time effort with great potential to save frustration ;)
Here's how to take your measurements:
This is what you need...
- Materials : You will need a flexible tape measure, a mirror and possibly a notepad to record the measurements. Don't have a tape measure? Then use a scarf, a dog leash or a charging cable with a counterweight, which you can later use to compare with a ruler.
- Clothing : Wear tight-fitting clothing or underwear to get more accurate measurements.
- Make sure the tape measure is not twisted and always runs parallel to the floor.
Find your measure..
Chest measurement:
- Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart and breathe normally.
- Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, making sure it is horizontal, comfortable and does not cut into you.
Waist measurement:
- Find the narrowest part of your waist (usually just above your belly button).
- Place the tape measure around your waist and make sure it fits snugly but is not tight.
hip measurement:
- Stand with your feet together and find the fullest part of your hips.
- Place the tape measure around your hips and make sure it is horizontal.
shoulder width:
- Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other. The best measurement is the back measurement (so it's best to ask a friend).
- Make sure you stand straight and that the tape measure is not too tight (your shoulders will need room later).
Sleeve length:
- Let your arm hang loosely at your side.
- Measure from the shoulder to the wrist.
leg length:
- Measure from crotch to ankle.
- Make sure the tape measure is straight.
Last Check
- Double check all measurements to make sure they are correct.
- It may be helpful to ask someone for help to get more accurate measurements.
- Remember to make a note on your cell phone so that you always have the information at hand.

Friendly Reminder:
Bodies are unique and so is comfort. Don't be afraid of saying things like "I'm too fat/thin for this piece of clothing". You are ALWAYS exactly right.
