Example of How to Take Measurements

Knowing your body measurements is helpful when shopping for clothes, as they can help you properly judge your style of clothing. Or to know the measurements to buy.

STEPS TO FOLLOW

1. It starts with your bust. This is taken around the entire part of your bust. Don't throw the tape measure too tight, just make it fit snugly.
2. If you need to know the size of your bra, you will also need to get the measurements of your under bust. This is taken right under your breasts.
3. Take the measurements of your waist. The measure of the waist reflects the narrowest part of your waist. For most women, this is about an inch above the your belly button.
4. Then take the measure of your hips. The measure of the hips, generally, reflects the fullest part of your hips, so it's pretty much the area where you sit on, when you sit on.
5. If you need to know the measurements of your sewing, follow this step. This measurement is generally taken from your ankle bone to your groin.

WARNINGS
