How to take measurements
* Bust: Measure underneath arms, around the fullest part of your bust and across the shoulder blades. * Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist (above your navel and below your ribcage) * Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips (approximately 20cm from your waist) * Inside leg: Measure from the very top of your inside leg at the crotch to your ankle bone. * Length: Stand with bare feet together flat on the floor, keep head facing forward and level. Then measure from your collarbone to the hem (or the longest point). * Sleeve: Length runs from the underarm to the cuff.
Tips for accurate measurements
1. Take your measurements over underwear (not over everyday clothing). Keep both feet flat on the floor 2. Ensure the tape measure is level around your body and do not allow it to twist or pull too tight 3. If your measurements are on the borderline of a size, you may find the next size up provides a more comfortable fit.
