Body Measurement Guidelines

To find your correct size on international charts:

  • Bust: Wrap the measuring tape horizontally around the fullest part of the bust, across the shoulder blades.
  • Waist: Measure around the natural narrowest waistline (typically 1 to 2 inches above the belly button).
  • Hips: Measure around the widest point of the hips and buttocks while standing with feet together.
