How to correctly measure your hips, waist and bust

Generally, the dimensions of a person's body are determined based on the circumference of their form at the three key points of the hips, waist and bust. To measure your three inflection points, as they are known, all you need is a tape measure. Remember to take all measurements standing upright with a straight back.

Hips: place the tape measure around the widest area of the hips, that is, the area where the curve of your hips is most marked.

Waist: place the tape measure around your torso at its narrowest spot. Typically, the narrowest part of your waist will be immediately above your belly button.

Bust: place the tape measure around your bust at its fullest point. Make sure the tape is not tight but is still nice and close.

These measurements are all you need to use our body shape calculator.
