What is the Back Waist Length?

Published in Sewing Measurement 1 min read

The back waist length is measured from the most prominent bone at the base of the neck to the natural waistline.

In more detail, here's a breakdown:

  • Starting Point: Locate the prominent bone at the base of your neck. This is a key landmark for consistent measurement.

  • Ending Point: Identify your natural waistline. This is typically the narrowest part of your torso, where your body creases when you bend to the side.

  • Measurement: Using a flexible measuring tape, measure the distance directly from the prominent neck bone down the center of your back to your natural waistline. Keep the tape straight, but not too tight.

This measurement is commonly used in sewing and garment making to ensure proper fit of clothing.
