Step 1
Get Starkers 😏
Overkill? You might be right. But seriously, the best way to get accurate measurements is by getting as close to your natural shape as possible.
If you’re not keen on the birthday suit idea (totally understandable!), opt for well-fitted clothes that don’t add bulk to your frame. Sorry, shapewear doesn’t count!

Forget Everything You Learnt in Anatomy Class 🧠
Just kidding. Exactly where you need to measure yourself is similar for any gender and remains pretty self-explanatory. The most common measurements include:
- Bust/Chest: Stand up straight, breathe normally, and wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, ensuring the tape is level all the way around. For best results, keep your arms down by your sides.
- Waist: Your natural waist is not where your jeans sit—it’s the smallest part of your torso, usually just above your belly button. Exhale normally and wrap the tape around this area, keeping it snug but not tight.
- Hips: Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips. This is usually around your hip bone area, but it can vary depending on your body shape. Again, keep the tape level and make sure it isn’t too tight.

Measure Like a Pro ⭐
Now it’s finally time to whip out the tailor measuring tape. Don’t have one? No worries. You can also use that paper measuring tape you got from IKEA on your last visit or a piece of ribbon that you can mark and measure with a ruler.
When measuring, stand naturally straight, relax your stomach and try to keep your arms by your side. Keep the measuring tape flat against your skin (but don’t stretch it!) and try sitting down, bending over, and standing back up to check that the tape doesn’t restrict your movement.
Prefer your clothing on the looser side? Add a finger width (or two) between your body and the measuring tape to ensure a loosey-goosey fit.
