HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF

Measuring yourself can be tricky, but getting the right measurements are essential to getting the right fit.

Simply compare your measurements to the size chart for your chosen garment to choose the best size for you.

You can find a size chart for each garment on it's description page, to view the chart just click on the 'Size Chart' link next to the size selector.

See our Sizing Guide for more information on choosing the right size.

Tips for Measuring:

~ Use a soft tape measure.

~ Hold the tape measure lightly against the skin: don't let it sag, and don't pull it too tight.

~Ideally, measure yourself without clothes on, or in your underwear.

~For the circumference measurements, use a mirror to make sure that the tape measure stays level and parallel to the floor all the way around the body.

~To make sure your measurements are as accurate as possible, ask someone else to measure you if you can.

~Follow the diagrams provided here to locate each measurement on the body.

~See below for more instructions!

Getting the measurements:

1. BUST: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest (over your nipples). Keep it level and parallel to the floor, with your arms relaxed at your sides. It is best to wear the same kind of bra/support you intend to wear with the jumpsuit when measuring.

2. WAIST: Find the spot halfway between your lowest ribs and your hip bones (around your belly button). Wrap the tape measure around and breathe out normally before taking the measurement.

3. HIGH HIPS: Wrap the tape measure around your upper hips, crossing your lower abdomen. The tape should cross over the two pelvic bones you can feel at the front of your hips. 

4. LOW HIPS: Wrap the tape measure around your hips and shimmy it down to measure the widest part of your hips and bottom. 

5. TORSO: Measure the distance from (A): the midpoint of your crotch (between your legs where your pants seam forms a cross) up and across your body to (B): the midpoint of your shoulder, where a bra-strap would sit. Make sure you are not slouching forward or arching backwards.

NOTE: It can be useful to have someone help you with this measurement: Hold one end of the tape measure between your legs at your mid-crotch, stand up straight, and have someone take the tape measure up to your shoulder and read the measurement.

6. IN-SEAM: Measure from (C): The midpoint of your crotch down the inside of your leg (let the tape measure fall straight down) to (D): Where the hem of your jumpsuit will finish.

For Long & Capri Jumpsuits: When selecting a length for your Jumpsuit; consider what shoes you will wear as this will impact where the pants hem will sit (either above, on or over the shoe).

For Rompers: Romper in-seams are a standard length (9cms).
