Measure around the fullest part of your bust, with your arms down at your side and slightly apart. Please ensure that the tape measure is horizontal and parallel to the ground.
Find the narrowest part of your waist and measure around your natural waist above the hips, ensuring that the tape measure is horizontal at all times.
To find your hip, measure 20cm down from the natural waist (9cm down if you are 'Petite') as a guide. Ensure that the tape measure is horizontal and standing with your feet together, measure the widest part of your hips.
