How many times have you stumbled upon a sweet deal online, but didn't complete the process because you couldn't figure out your exact size?
Or have you found the perfect coat or dress and it has measurements instead of size specifications written on it?
Surely no one likes to wait several days to take delivery of their new clothes only to find they don't fit perfect.
As more online stores pop up every day all over the internet sometimes with different regional sizing and complicated refund, return or exchange policies, you want to get it right every single time.
The simple solution to this problem is to GET MEASURED!!
All you need is a simple tailor's measuring tape which you can buy from just about any sewing store for a few bucks, a trusted friend or partner/spouse and the measuring guide below.
I suggest a trusted friend or partner/spouse because he or she will have to measure your inseam which begins are the base of your crotch and I don't know too many friends willing and comfortable with rooting around your south park unless you're being intimate.
Tips on getting an accurate measurement
Keep the tape straight
Don't wrap the tape around too loose or too tight
Alternatively
If you have a shirt, blazer, pants or skirt that fits you perfectly, lay it on a flat surface and measure the dimensions.
Don't be confused by usually small sizing
Some places give you measurements that look peculiarly small. For example, you may see a garment listed as having a 19″ chest measurement. Well that just means they measured across the chest without doubling the measurement. So your 38″ chest is 38″ because you went all the way around your body
Last tip
Keep copies of your measurements in your wallet and in a notepad on your computer for easy reference.
HAPPY SHOPPING
