Before taking your measurements, pin a narrow ribbon or
twill tape around your waist; you'll need this as a reference for several of
the measurements. In order to take exact measurements, wear only your
underwear and use a measuring tape that has not been stretched. Stand up straight with
your weight evenly distributed; your posture and balance should feel natural and
comfortable. Do not hold your breath when taking measurements. Measure each arm and each
leg separately since they may differ in length.
When taking vertical and horizontal measurements, keep
the tape taut. When taking circumference measurements, keep the tape snug, but not tight;
be sure the tape measure is level and parallel to the floor. Keep your fingers on top of
the tape- never between the tape and your body. By following the step-by-step photographs
and directions, you'll take all the measurements you'll need to fit any garment. Once your
done, write down your measurements with their numbers and keep for future reference and
then go to Measurement Chart to send via email.
