To get accurate measurements for clothing sizes, measure yourself while wearing only underwear or lightweight shapewear. This ensures the most precise fit. You'll need to measure your hip, bust, and waist.
Here's a breakdown of how to measure each area:
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, making sure to wear a bra if you usually do. Keep the measuring tape level all the way around.
- Waist: Find your natural waistline, which is usually above your belly button. Keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. Keep the measuring tape level.
Once you have your measurements, consult the size guide of the brand you're interested in purchasing. Size guides can vary between brands, so using your measurements to find the correct size on their chart will ensure a 99% chance of getting the right fit.
