Measure yourself

Bust or chest

Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, with the tape level all round. Breathe out normally. Wear thin clothes.

Waist and hips

Waist: the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. Hips: the widest part of the hips and seat, feet together.

Neck (for shirts)

Around the base of the neck where the collar sits, with one finger under the tape for room.

Foot length (for shoes)

Stand on paper with your weight on the foot, heel against a wall. Mark the tip of the longest toe and measure from the wall. Do both feet, late in the day, and use the longer one.

Children

Measure height barefoot against a wall. Children's sizes in Europe and much of Asia are the child's height in cm, which is more reliable than age.
