Measure yourself accurately

What to keep in mind when measuring yourself

By sticking to these rules, pulling off the measurement will be much easier and you will avoid having to exchange clothes for another size:

1. Ask a second person to pull off the measurement, preferably it should always be the same person.
2. When measuring, stand naturally: do not pull in your belly, do not tighten your muscles, do not puff out your chest.
3. When measuring, the tailor's tape measure must not cut into the body. It should gently rest against the skin.
4. Measure each dimension 3 times, then calculate the average.
5. The tailor's tape measure should always be placed evenly on each side, at the same level on the front, back and sides.
6. Carefully check that the position of the tailor's measure is correct.
7. Start the measurement from the upper to the lower parts of the body.

Our advice

• Remember that each garment measurement should be, at least a little larger than the one measured on you.
• People with a non-standard body build should follow the widest values of the taken measurement.
• Pay more attention to the waist circumference than the leg length.

Match the clothes to your preferences

If you prefer fitted clothes, choose those that best fit the measurement you took. If your style is loose and you prefer wider garments, choose clothes in a larger size.

Measure individual measurements

Waist circumference (C)

Measure the waist circumference at the level of the belly button, running the tailor's measure around. Remember that the figure, should be upright, and the measurement itself should be taken after exhaling and before inhaling. Do not tense the muscles and pull in the abdomen. Wanting to take a measurement from a similar garment, lay it flat on the counter so that the zipper is on the front. Take a measurement of the width at the waist from the left to the right edge of the pants, multiply the obtained value ×2.

You will easily exchange for a larger or smaller size

Remember that you have 14 days to exchange your clothes for a larger or smaller size. When the need arises, pack the garment in the package along with the information that you want to exchange the purchased garment for a specific size. You can find a size exchange order template here.
