First of all, it's best to stand barefoot in your underwear. For best results take your measurements a few times or get someone else to measure you.
Bust
Place the measuring tape around your body over the fullest part of your bust, making sure the tape is sitting well under your arms and spans your shoulder blades. The tape should be taut but not too tight. .
Waist
Measure around the slimmest part of your natural waistline - generally the point where your body creases when you bend slightly forwards or where you find it most comfortable to wear your waistbands. Take care not to hold the tape too loose or too tight.
Hips
Standing with your feet together, measure around your hips at the widest point - usually over your bottom or at the top of your thighs - and approximately 20cm (8in) below your natural waistline.
Inside leg
Measure from the top of your inside leg at the crotch to where your trousers normally end.
Note:
Jackets and coats
Because these are normally worn over other clothing, you should be more generous with the sizing.
Lengths
Garment lengths can differ from style-to-style, so for trousers, dresses and skirts, refer to the individual product description. These lengths are approximate.
Our chart is designed to be a general guide only, and if you find you're not a precise match, it's always best to go up a size. Bear in mind that different brands might fit you differently, depending on style and cut.
