How to take measures

Measurements on the body

  • Neck : Put the measuring tape around the neck and insert a finger to give space.
  • Chest : pass the tape measure at the level of the armpits well now around the entire circumference, in a relaxed position.
  • Waist : measure the narrow part of the hips, if instead you have an abundant abdomen, then measure at navel level.
  • Pelvis : the most protruding part of the bottom is measured.
  • Shoulders : it starts from the humerus and ends at the other.
  • Sleeve length : it starts from the humerus and reaches the wrist with the arm straight along the side. If you are wearing a shirt, measure 3cm from the shoulder seam.
  • Shirt length : wear a shirt, measure from the center of the back neckline down to the bottom of the shirt, obviously if it's a length you like.
