Measuring Guide
Please use our measuring guide to help you measure the specific areas given and ensure the best fit. We recommend using a fabric measuring tape and keeping the tape loose and comfortable when measuring. Pulling the tape too tight can cause you to under estimate the measurment. If you do not have a measuring tape, you can use some string and a ruler. It is also a good idea to measure with less clothing on or over your underwear.

|
a. Chest - Measure around the fullest part of your chest and highest part of your shoulder blades, under your arms. |
| b. Waist - Bend sideways to find the natural indent of your waistline. Wrap the measuring tape around your natural waistline, keeping one finger between your body and the measuring tape. | |
| c. Inseam - Use a pair of pants that fit you best and lay them flat. Measure the inside of one leg from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem. If you find that you are in between inches, round to the nearest ½". Depending on the fabric and whether or not you plan on machine washing your pants, it may be a good idea to add an inch for shrinkage. | |
| d. Neck - Measure the circumference around the middle of your neck, including your Adam’s apple, leaving room for your index finger to fit between the measuring tape and your neck for a comfortable fit. | |
| e. Sleeve - Bend your arm and put your hand on your hip. Measure the length from the bottom center of your neck (or the middle of your your shoulders), past your shouder and elbow, down to your wrist. | |

a. Bust - Measure around the fullest part of your bust and highest part of your shoulder blades, under your arms. |
| b. Waist - Bend sideways to find the natural indent of your waistline or use your belly button level. Wrap the measuring tape around your natural waistline, keeping one finger between your body and the measuring tape. | |
| c. Hips - Stand with your feet together. Measure the circumference around the fullest part of your hips while keeping the measuring tape parallel to the floor. | |
| d. Inseam - Use a pair of pants that fit you best and lay them flat. Measure the inside of one leg from the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem. If you find that you are in between inches, round to the nearest ½". Depending on the fabric and whether or not you plan on machine washing your pants, it may be a good idea to add an inch for shrinkage. | |

a. Head - Measure the around your head above your eyebrows while keeping measuring tape leveled and firm across your temples. |
| b. Gloves - Identify your dominant hand. (Usually if you are right handed, your right hand is dominant and vice versa). Measure your hand around your knuckles. Be sure to leave some room because you want your gloves to be a little loose. They will form fit with use. | |
| c. Ring - Be sure that your fingers are not too cold because fingers tend to shrink when colder and this may give you an inaccurate measurement. Wrap a strip of paper comfortably around your finger, making sure that you can slide off comfortably over your knuckle. Make a mark where the paper meets the other end. Measure the length of the strip from the edge to your marking with a ruler or tape measure. Now, you can use the ring guide to get your ring size! Find the closest measurement under the column labeled "Circumference" and match it up to the "Ring Size." For example: a size 7 equals 2.12 inches or 54.3 millimeters. | |
|
d. Shoes - Measure both feet. Some people have one foot slightly larger than the other. Choose the size that fits the larger of the two.Consider the socks or tights you’ll wear most often with your shoes. For thicker socks or tights, you may want to order shoes 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. Measure your feet in the afternoon, when feet tend to be their largest. If you require a wide width, try ordering a ½ size larger in the regular width. |
