Question

i dont understand how u measure for what size you are....like what part is your waist and when you measure your hips do you actually put the measuring tape over your hip bones?
haha this is probably a really stupid question but w.e.

Answer 1

Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the bust and across the shoulder blades.

Waist: Measure around the smallest part of the waist, slightly above the belly button.

Hips: Measure around the biggest part of the hips and buttocks just above the top of the thighs.

Answer 2

When you get a clothes catalouge, theres sometimes a few pages in the beginning with sizing charts in, so you could have a look around in clothes catalouges.

But if you can't find one, use this...

It tells you on the top chart what to measure and it tells you next to the picture of the woman how to measure the parts you need to.
So get a tape measure and you can!

Answer 3

Your waist is traditionally measured at the level of your belly button. However, as not all pants fall across the true waist, then one may need to alter the position of the measurement to correspond to the type of fit of the pant being considered.

Hips are always measured at their widest point.
