How to Measure Yourself

Use a flexible measuring tape, keeping it level and comfortably snug without pulling it tight. Follow any measuring instructions supplied with the brand’s size chart.

Body vs. Garment Measurements

Body measurements describe your body. Compare them with the brand’s body-size chart when one is available.

Garment measurements describe the piece itself and may include room for movement or an intentionally relaxed shape. They aren’t interchangeable with body measurements.

Compare garment measurements with a similar piece you already own and like wearing. Use the same measuring method and units, and check whether the listed measurements are flat widths or full circumferences. If the measurement type is unclear, ask before ordering.

Consider Shape, Length & Stretch

Available fit notes can help you understand whether a style is fitted, relaxed, or intentionally oversized. Stretch information can help you assess the fabric’s give, but doesn’t determine the right size on its own.

Check garment length and model height when provided for context. Where a piece falls on you will also depend on your proportions.
