How to Select the Clothes Size Based on Your Body Part Size
1:How to measure your body size?
Firstly, stand up straight with your arms hang down in a relaxed, natural pose, normal position, open your shoulder naturally, with your feet together.
Use a measuring tape, instruct your friend to measure your body parts as the above picture shows. Or you can measure by yourself.
- SHOULDER: Measure from your boniest part one shoulder straightly to your another shoulder, the size is your shoulder width size.
- BUST/ CHEST: Measure around the fullest part of your chest. Tight up under the armpits and over the shoulder blades.
- WAIST: Run the tape around the narrowest part of your natural waist. This is usually where the belly button is.
- HIP: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and rear. This is typically midway between your crotch and your belly button.
- ARM: Measure from your shoulder's boniest part straightly to your wrist.
- THIGH: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your thigh, usually where the bottom of your butt meets the top of your thighs. Make sure to keep the tape snug, but not tight, and ensure that the the tape measure is level from front to back.
- INNER LEG: Place the top of the measuring tape on your inner thigh, stay the closest to the crotch as possible. Pull the tape measure tight and run it straightly down to the bottom of your ankle.
You'd better not infer your body size based on your height and weight, because everyone's body figure is different.
2: The way we measure the clothes size
The size data in the size chart is measured flat.Usually the size data is the width of the clothes' part ✖️2.
Dress and Skirt
TOPS & JACKETS
2, SHOULDER : Measure this length from one shoulder to another.
3, CHEST: Place the tape close under the armhole and measure from side seam to side seam. Chest size is the width ✖️2.
4, Length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder to the desired hemline.
5, Hem: Measure from one side to another, but it is vital to take this measurement from above the elastic area (If sweatshirt have any).
6, Sleeve cuff: At the widest point of the wrist, measure its circumference. Leave enough room for watches or jewelry worn often. Take this measurement from above the elastic area same as Hem length measurement.
PANTS
1. WAIST: For measuring the waist first button the pants up. Next spread the pants flat on the surface, and remove any fullness and wrinkles from it. Waist size is the width ✖️2.
2. FRONT RISE: With the pants buttoned up, spread the pants on the floor or table; next remove all wrinkles, and measure this region by starting from crotch seam spot to the spot of the waistband.
3. HIP: Measure across the hip area, this is in most cases 1 1/2 inches below the zipper. Hip size is the width ✖️2.
4. THIGH: Starting at the crotch seam and ending 1–2 inches below the hip area. Thigh size is the width ✖️2.
5. LENGTH: With the pants buttoned up, spread the pants on a table, floor or any other flat surface, with outseams on both corners. After removing all wrinkles and any fullness, measure the length from the top of the waistband.
6. KNEE: Next remove any wrinkles and fullness if present. Measure across the knee area. Knee size is the width ✖️2.
7. INSEAM: Having the pants buttoned up, spread the pants on a surface flat. Now measure the inseam gap from the crotch, at the spot where the front and back seams meet, exactly where, depends on the length you desire ultimately.
8. LEG OPENING: Now in the last step follow the same pattern as the previous steps, which is spread the pants on a flat surface e.g. table or floor. After removing any fullness or wrinkles, start measurement beginning from one side of the leg opening to the other side of the leg opening.
