Size Chart: Dresses and tops

Size chart: Trousers, short, skirts

The key points to focus on when measuring for a top or dress are:

  • Shoulders (front and back
  • Bust
  • Waist
  • Hips
  1. Shoulder to shoulder (front) : Measure this length from one shoulder to another, as shown in the picture
  2. Shoulder to shoulder (back) : Repeat the same for back. Measure this length from one shoulder to another.
  3. Bust: Measure around the fullest part, place the tape close under the arms and make sure the tape is flat across the back.
  4. Waist: Usually this measures over your belly button. Place a tape measure around your middle at a point of your belly button and go fully around the body. Make sure it's pulled tight but isn't digging into your skin. Breathe out naturally and take your measurement.
  5. Hips: Stand with your feet directly beneath your hips and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks.

 

The key points to focus on when measuring for trousers and skirts:

  • Waist 
  • Upper hip
  • Hip/Lower Hip
  • Thigh
  • Inseam (not needed for skirts)
  1. Waist: Usually this measures over your belly button. Place a tape measure around your middle at a point of your belly button and go fully around the body. Make sure it's pulled tight but isn't digging into your skin. Breathe out naturally and take your measurement.
  2. Upper hip: Upper hip circumference is approx. 5" below your waist. Take this measurement around the fattest part of your tummy.
  3. Hip/Lower hip: Stand with your feet directly beneath your hips and wrap the tape around the widest part of your hips and buttocks.
  4. Thigh: Measure the length of your leg from your knee to hip bone, then find the midway point. Wrap the tape measure around the leg to get your thigh measurement
  5. Inseam:  is the distance from the uppermost part of your thigh to your ankle. It is easiest to measure the inseam based on a well-fitting pair of pants. Measure from the crotch to the cuff on the inside seam of the leg.
