TIPS ON HOW TO MEASURE
  • Take your measurements in front of a full-length mirror to ensure you measure the right area and the tape measure isn't twisted.
  • For more accurate results try using a fabric or bendable tape measure.
  • Wear light clothing to measure, don't measure your waist over pants.

BODY MEASUREMENTS
FEMALE
Bust:Bust measurements are taken at the fullest part of your bust. Measure around the fullest part of the bust and over the shoulder blades - keep the tape level and straight.
Waist:Waist measurements are taken around the narrowest part of your waist between your ribcage and hips. Measure around your natural waist, that is where the bend is at your side. (If you stand in front of a mirror and bend to the side the crease that forms indicates your natural waistline).
Hips:Hip measurements are taken around the widest part of your buttocks. Measure around the fullest part of the hips, while standing naturally.

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SIZE CHARTS
Understanding both body and garment measurements, as well as full and half measurements is important for selecting clothing that fits well and comfortably.
Body measurementsare those taken directly from a person's body.
Garment measurementsare taken from the clothing item itself.
Full measurementsrefer to the complete circumference or length of a body part or garment. For example, a full bust measurement is the entire circumference of the chest or bust area.
Half measurementsare typically half of the full measurement. For instance, a half bust measurement will be half of the full bust circumference, usually measured from one side of the garment or body to the other.
If you're between sizes,check the size chart and consider the fit style of the garment. For example: If your 1/2 chest measurement is 52cm, and the size 8 corresponds to 51cm, while size 10 corresponds to 53cm, the best fit for you is likely be size 10. This will ensure the garment accommodates your chest comfortably without feeling too tight. However, it's also essential to consider the fit style of the garment; for example, if it's a stretchy material or has a relaxed fit, you might find that size 8 still fits well despite being slightly smaller than your measurement. If possible, try on both sizes or check customer service for sizing guidance specific to the garment, to help make the best choice.
