How to Measure for Women's ClothingUpdated a month ago

Taking accurate body measurements is the best way to find your ideal fit. Use a soft measuring tape and measure over fitted clothing or directly against your body. Keep the tape snug but not tight and stand naturally without holding your breath.

Women's
Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, ensuring the tape stays level across your back. Keep your arms relaxed by your sides for the most accurate measurement.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, typically just above your belly button and below your rib cage. Don't pull the tape too tightly—it should sit comfortably against your body.

Hips

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. Make sure the measuring tape remains level all the way around.

Inseam

Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle or the desired trouser length. It can be helpful to ask someone to assist with this measurement for greater accuracy.

Top Tips

  • Compare your measurements to the size guide. Each brand may fit slightly differently, so always refer to the size guide provided on the product page for the best fit.
  • Consider the garment's fit. If a style is designed to be slim, relaxed, or oversized, this may affect the size you choose.
  • If you're between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
