How to measure
Measure your body, not a garment. We add the right ease for each piece when we cut it.
- Use a soft cloth measuring tape.
- Wear light, close-fitting clothing.
- Stand straight and relaxed; breathe normally.
- Keep the tape level and snug, never tight.
- Ask someone to help for back and length measurements.
- Measure twice; enter values in inches.
