How to measure yourself for a great fit?

Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping tape firmly under your armpits and around your shoulder blades.

Bust: With arms relaxed at the side of the body, measure under the arms around the fullest part of the chest/bust.

Sleeve: Measure from center back to the end of the sleeve.

Waist: Measure around your waist, slightly below your natural waist, where you normally wear your trousers. Insert your forefinger between the tape and your body to allow ease in fit.

Hip: With heels slightly apart, measure around the fullest part of the hip.

Inseam: Measure a similar pant that fits you well. Measure along the inseam, from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem.

Male and female figures with lines showing where to measure for clothing: chest, waist, sleeve, and inseam on the male; bust, waist, hip, sleeve, and inseam on the female.
