How to take your measurements?

Chest (Bust) Measurement

• Measuring tape position: Place it around the widest part of your chest, usually at the nipples.

• Posture: Stand up straight, arms relaxed.

• Adjustment: The ribbon should be snug but not too tight.

• Breathing: Take a normal breath and note the measurement.

✅ Tip: If you wear a bra, choose a model without padding for more precision.

📌 Waist Measurement

• Location: Place the tape measure at the narrowest part of your waist (usually a few centimeters above the navel).

• Posture: Relax your stomach and breathe normally.

• Adjustment: The ribbon should not be too tight or too loose.

• Reading the measurement: Ensure that the tape remains parallel to the ground.

✅ Tip: If you're having trouble locating your natural waist, lean to the side; the spot where your skin folds is your waist.

Hip Measurement

• Position: Place the ribbon around the widest part of your hips (usually at buttock height).

• Posture: Stand up straight with your feet together.

• Adjustment: The tape should remain parallel to the ground and well adjusted without compressing the skin.

• Reading the measurement: Note the value in centimeters.

✅ Tip: Take the measurement while looking in a mirror to avoid skewing the results.

Underbust measurement (for bra cups)

• Position: Pass the ribbon just under your breasts, horizontally.

• Adjustment: The ribbon should be snug but not so tight as to leave marks on the skin.

• Reading the measurement: This measurement helps you determine your bra size.

✅ Tip: To find your cup size, subtract your underbust measurement from your bust measurement and refer to a bra size guide.

Tips for accurate measurements ✅

• Always measure on bare skin or with thin clothing.

• Do not suck in your stomach or inflate your chest during the measurement.

• Measure several times to ensure you get an accurate value.

• Ask for help if needed to properly position the ribbon.
