Where to get measured

The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body. It should not be loose, either! Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place. You should be able to put a finger behind the tape, but no more than that.

A - Bust - Measure the bust at the fullest part. Measure all around the body total circumference. B - Waist - Measure the waist where the body bends.

It helps to bend side to side to identify exactly where to measure. You can put an elastic band around the waist to mark the correct placement.

D - High Hip - Measure around the fullest part, about 3 - 4" below the waist. This is helpful when fitting a slim skirt or pants to get an accurate idea of the shape of the hip, or the belly. E - Front Waist Length - Start at the shoulder right next to the base of the neck , and measure to the waist, measuring over the fullest part of the bust. F - Back Waist Length - Measure from the base of the neck in the center, not the side , to the center of the waistline.

It's important to keep the elbow bent to allow for movement when you make a sleeve. Age Body height Weight Shoe size 8. Activity level 1.

Also, make sure the tape measure is held snugly and firmly not tightly against your body and is always parallel to the floor for circumference measurements. Remember to wear proper undergarments. If you wear a special support bra for riding, your measurements should be taken with that bra on.

We highly recommend measuring a properly fitted garment and comparing those measurements to the ones you take. Measure across the back from the corner of one shoulder to the corner of the other shoulder. For this measurement, I recommend measuring a jacket you already have that fits properly.

Laying the jacket flat, measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. Measure around the fullest part of the bust.
