How to take your body measurements to know your size?

Taking your body measurements is a very simple and useful task that will help you choose the size that best suits you. Today we want to give you some tips to help you get it right when buying clothes online at Meryfor.

5 things to consider before taking your body measurements:

There are a few basics you need to keep in mind to get your measurements right:

You need a suitable tape measure. It can be a flexible plastic one or a cloth one.
When you want to measure yourself, your posture should be as upright as possible. If you are going to do it on your own, we recommend that you do it in front of a mirror.
Don't wear clothes that are too loose to take your body measurements. You can measure yourself in underwear or very tight clothing.
When taking your measurements do not adjust the tape measure too much against your body. This will give you a smaller measurement, but it will not be the actual measurement.
Record all measurements as you take them and repeat the process at least twice.

To know your size, the most common way to take a woman's body measurements is to take into account three areas: chest, waist and hips. In this video you can see where to place the tape measure to do it correctly.

How to take a chest measurement?

To make this measurement you should pass the tape measure around your chest. You have to take the widest part of your bust as a reference. Normally the widest area is usually at the level of the nipples.

How to take your waist measurement?

To measure your waist you have to circle it with the tape measure at the narrowest part of your torso. This is usually about 4 cm from your belly button. Remember not to press the tape measure against your body.
