- Do not take your measurements yourself
- Wear light clothing as thicker garments like jumpers and jeans will add to measurements
- Remove items from pockets such as wallets in the back hip pocket
- Measure with the tape flat against the body
- Do not hold the tape too loose or too tight
- Do not put fingers under the tape
- Chest/Bust Measure around the body across the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level and straight.
