How to measure yourself for women's clothing

Where to measure
* Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the bust and across the shoulder blades of your back. When measuring the bust for women's underwear and swimwear, follow the bra measuring guidelines.
* Waist
Measure at the natural waistline, just above the hipbone. Remember - women's fashion trousers will have bigger waist measurement, as they are low rise and do not sit on the natural waistline.
* Hip
Measure around the fullest part of your hips. As a guideline, this is often 20cm below your natural waistline.
* Inside leg
Measure from the top of the inside leg to the floor.
* Skirt length
Measure from the natural waistline in a straight line
* Dress length
Measure from the centre back neck in a straight line.
Petite women's clothing
All petite women's clothing items are for women measuring 5ft 3" and under. Our range of petite clothing has been shortened in length to fit women of a smaller stature. When purchasing from the petite clothing range, the standard women’s clothing size chart applies - only length measurements will change.
Our range of women's maternity clothing is made to fit pregnant women of 6 months or more. When purchasing maternity clothing, simply select your pre-pregnancy size as all our clothing items will have allowances and ease for your expanding bump.
In latter stages of pregnancy, some women may find they need to choose one clothing size larger due to the changing shape of their body.
