Tips

  • Use your exact measurements when selecting your size
  • The tape should be firm but not tight
  • Measure on the top of your underwear
  • Ask someone to help you measure

Sizes

  • Bust - take this measurement across the fullest part of your bust, over the shoulder blades
  • Waist - measure around the natural waist line keeping the tape comfortably loose
  • Hip - take this measurement around the fullest part of the seat, approx 22cm or 9" down from the waist

HOW TO MEASURE A GARMENT

To find the best fit, we recommend measuring a garment you already own that fits 
you well using our method below, then compare this with the measurements we've given 
on the new item you’re considering.

Our measurements are all taken from garments laying flat.

Lay your existing garment out on a flat surface as per illustration below. 
Using a measuring tape follow the key below to match your measurements to ours
to allow an accurate comparison. 
If you need to measure your body instead of an exising garment please note some
amounts we give will need to be doubled.to find the circumference. E.g. we may 
give a bust size as 46cm laying flat, which equals a bust circumference of 92cm.
