Take your actual body measurements as they are more accurate than measuring over your clothes.

(a) Bust: measure around the fullest part of your bust and across your shoulder blades. Waist: measure around your natural waistline.

(b) Waist: measure around the natural waist, keeping the tape measure taut.

(c) Hips: stand with your feet together. Put the tape around the fullest part of your bottom at the top of your leg, about 20cm (8’’) below your natural waistline.
