• Sleeve Length - With arm relaxed, slightly bent and at your side, measure from the center back of neck, over the point of the shoulder, down the outside of the arm and to the wrist.
   
• Chest / Bust - For the chest, measure just under the arms and across the shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. For the bust, measure at the fullest point of the bust.
   
• Waist - Measure around your natural waistline.
   
• Hips - Measure around the fullest point of your seat while standing.
   
• Inseam - Measure similar pants that fit you well. Lay them flat, with the front and back creased smooth. Measure along the inseam from the crotch to the bottom of the leg hem along the inseam (see illustration above).
