Key Measurements for Plus Size Clothing
1. Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it straight across your back. This is essential for choosing tops and dresses.
2. Waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist. This helps when buying trousers or leggings.
3. Hips
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips. Perfect for choosing jeans or skirts.
4. Inseam
Measure from the top of your inner thigh down to your ankle. This ensures the right length for pants and tracksuits.

Measure from one shoulder tip to the other. A must for jackets and hoodies.
