  HOW TO MEASURE TO FIND A SIZE
For Best Results:
  1 - Get a measuring tape or ruler.
 
To get an accurate measurement keep tape snug BUT NOT tight.
 
 2 - Measure your body.
 
 
 

A Bust:
 
 Measure around the fullest part of bust under arms with arms relaxed down at sides.
 
B Waist:
 
 Measure around natural waistline which appears as crease when bending to one side.
 
 
Even though Rise is not listed on measurement charts it is very important to understand the effect on the waist measurement of clothing.
 
The lower the rise the bigger the waist measurement.
The higher the rise the smaller the waist measurement.
 
We have found that for every inch the rise goes down, you should add 1 1/2 to 2" to the waist measurement.
 
For example, if you wear a size 12 the normal rise is around 11.5 inches and waist 30 inches. If you are looking at buying a pair of pants with a mid rise of 9, you would need to add approximately 4 to 5 inches to the waist. You would be looking for a waist of 34 to 35 inches.
 
Ultra Low Rise = Less than 4" Rise
Low Rise = 4.5"-7" Rise
Mid Rise = 7.5"-10.5" Rise
Regular Rise = 11"-12.5" Rise
High Rise = 13" and Up Rise
 
C Hips:
 
 Put your legs together and measure around the wides point of your hip area.
 
D Inseam:
 
 It's best to measure a pair of your own pants that fit you well. Lay them flat and measure from the crotch seam to the cuff.
