how to measure yourself..
Watch the 1 minute video below to see how we measure others in order to get the perfect fit.
HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF:
Grab a tape measure!
Wrap the tape around the largest point of your chest, this is called your apex and generally lines up with your nipples. This measurement is your “bust” or “chest” measurement.
Wrap the tape around your ribs just under the soft tissue of your bust, this is your underbust. We need this measurement to know how large of a cup size you are.
Next wrap the tape around your natural waist, this is the narrowest part of your torso. It can be in line with your belly button or just under the bust, it’s different for everyone - this is your “waist” measurement.
Then move down to the “hip” - this is the widest circumference of your bum and hips.
Finally, let us know if you have a short torso or long torso and your height.
Tips!
When submitting your order request, let me know what size you are from the first column in the size chart. Please add any other body shape details, measurements and descriptors. For example, you could say something like “I think I’m a medium? I’m usually a size 6 on top and 8 on the bottom with a pear shaped bum”. The more I know, the better the fit - you can also send me a photo of yourself for added clarification.
When measuring yourself, make sure to wear skin tight clothing or nothing at all. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you can mark on a piece of string, then line the string up to a yardstick. Better yet have a friend help!
If you live in Portland, we can schedule a consultation to make sure we get the perfect fit.
