To accurately measure a scrub suit, you need to take several key body measurements. Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
Essential Measurements for Scrub Suits
Accurate measurements are crucial for a comfortable and properly fitting scrub suit. Here are the measurements you need to take, based on the provided reference:
Step-by-step Guide to Measuring
-
Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your bust or chest. Make sure the tape measure is horizontal.
-
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline. This is usually the narrowest part of your torso.
-
Hip: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping your feet slightly apart. Ensure the tape measure is level.
-
Length: Measure from the center back neck seam down to the bottom edge of where you want the scrub top to end. (Note: This measures the scrub top).
Measuring Tips
- Use a Flexible Tape Measure: A soft, flexible measuring tape will provide the most accurate results.
- Wear Light Clothing: To ensure accurate measurements, wear only light clothing or undergarments when measuring.
- Stand Straight: Stand up straight but relaxed while taking measurements.
- Get Help if Needed: It can be easier to get accurate measurements if someone else helps you, especially for length measurements.
- Check Measurements Twice: To double-check your accuracy, take each measurement at least twice.
Example
Imagine you are measuring a scrub top.
- You would measure around your chest for the bust/chest measurement.
- You would measure from the back of your neck down to where you would like the scrub top to end for the length measurement.
By following these steps, you can select the best scrub suit size that fits comfortably and allows for unrestricted movement. Remember to always refer to the specific size chart of the brand you are purchasing from as sizes may vary between manufacturers.
