Starting Measurements

  • Bust: Don't squish yourself -- measure all the way around your bust and back right at your nipple line, and make sure the tape measure is not lower.

  • Chest: Measure under your breasts but as high up as you can go, keeping the tape measure parallel to this line when you reach it around your back.

  • Waist: Measure wherever it is the smallest (if you have "no waist" go around yourself right at the navel line).

  • Midway: Measure midway between the very biggest part of your hips and your waist.
  • Hips: Measure at the very biggest part -- even if that is so low that you are almost on the top of your thighs.

  • Thighs: Measure wherever they are the biggest.

  • Knees: Measure right above the knee.

  • Calves: Measure wherever they are the biggest.

  • Upper arm: Measure wherever they are biggest above your elbows.

  • Forearms: Measure wherever they are biggest below your elbows.
