A better measurement
Before you begin
Take your time and write down each number as you go. Recheck your measurements before placing your order.
Use a soft tape
A flexible tailor’s tape follows the body far more accurately than a ruler.
Stand naturally
Stand relaxed and upright, with your feet together where the guide asks.
Keep it level
For measurements around the body, keep the tape level all the way round.
Measure twice
Write each number down as you go, then recheck them before you order.
