Re: How to Measure Up

1) Neck: Measure the neck circumference. To find the base of the neck, have the person tilt his or her head forward. You'll see a knobby bone in back . If the person being measured doesn't like a tight fit here, add a pinch of breathing room.

2) Chest: To measure the chest circumference, place the tape around the fullest part of the chest or bust, under the arms.

3) Back: To measure the length of the back, start at the base of the neck and make a straight line down to the waistline (see number 6 for waistline measurement).

4) Arms:
FOR HER: To measure arm length, start at the base of the neck, then go over the shoulder, down to the slightly bent elbow and then to the wrist bone.
FOR HIM Begin this measurement at the shoulder tip.

5) Shoulders: Measure from the base of the neck (from the side, where the neck meets the shoulder) to the upper-arm bone.

6) Waist: Wrap around your waist starting from your belly button.

7) Hips: Measure the circumference. The person being measured should stand with feet together.

8) Leg outseam: Measure vertically down the outside of the leg, from the waistline to the lower part of the anklebone (or the desired hem length).

9) Leg inseam: FOR PANTS ONLY Measure from the crotch to the lower part of the anklebone (or the desired hem length), running vertically down the inside of the leg.

10) Thighs: FOR PANTS ONLY Measure the circumference, parallel to the floor.

Re: How to Measure Up

Perhaps you could create a page with the instructions for measuring a body for those who have never done it before. I know that when I first saw one of these cheat sheets, I had to look up this information. Or if you already have this information somewhere, put a link on the page for the instructions. Thank you.
