Measuring tips
- Use a soft cloth measuring tape, not a metal one.
- Measure over the undergarments you'll wear with the outfit.
- Keep the tape snug but not tight. You should be able to slip a finger under it.
- Stand straight and relaxed. Ask someone to help for back and shoulder measurements.
- If you have a garment that fits you well, measuring it is a great cross-check.
- Not sure about a measurement? Leave it blank and add a note. We'll call you.
