How to guide
Body Type A
G - Natural Waist - Tie a piece of string around the natural waistline. This makes vertical
measurements more accurate.
A to B - Natural Waist Length - Measure from the bone at the nape of the neck to the natural
waistline.
A to C - Desired Length of Garment - This measurement is generally applicable to long coats.
Measure from the nape of the neck to where you want the coat to end.
D to E - Half Across Back - Measure from the centre back (about 6 inches down from the nape of
the neck, on the spinal cord) to the position of the sleeve seam at the back scye (armhole).
F – Chest - Measure under the arms, around the body at chest level. Make sure the arms are down
when taking this measurement.
H - Trouser Waist Position - This is about 1.5 inches below the natural waistline. Measure around
the body where you would like the trousers be.
I – Seat - Measure around the fullest part of the buttock; this is about 8 inches below the waistline.
J – Neck - Measure around the base of the neck loosely.
K to L – Shoulder - Measure from the base of the neck to the shoulder bone.
L to M - Sleeve Length - With arm bent and the hand on the hip, measure from the shoulder bone to
where you want the sleeve to end
P to Q – Side Seam Length for Trousers - Measure from the waist to where you want the trousers
to end.
R to S - Body Rise - While sitting on a hard chair, have someone measure from the waist to the top
of the chair’s seat.
T to U - Inside Leg - Measure from the crotch to where you want the trousers to end.
V – Wrist - Measure around the wrist joint.
W - Top Arm - While arm is bent, measure around the triceps.
A to X - Scye depth - Place a string across the back under the arms. Have someone measure from
the nape of the neck down to the string that goes across the back.

Body Type B
H – Bust - Measure around the fullest part of the bust, making sure that the tape measure is parallel
to the floor.
G - Waist Size - Measure around the narrowest area of abdomen. Locate the waist by bending
abdomen left or right. After taking this measurement, tie a piece of string firmly around the waist. This
allows vertical measurements to be taken more accurately.
I – Hips - Measure the widest area below waist. This is generally between 6" to 8" down from the
waistline.
P to Q - Back Width - Measure 6" down from the neck bone at the centre back. Then measure
across the back from where one arm meets the body to where the other arm meets the body.
N to O – Chest - Measure down the chest about 3" from the neck at the centre front (armhole to
armhole).
J – Neck - Measure the base of the neck touching the front collar bone.
K to L – Shoulder - Measure from the neck to the shoulder bone
W - Top Arm - With the arm bent, measure the bicep.
V – Wrist - Make this measurement quite loose and comfortable.
A to B - Nape to Waist - Measure from the neck bone at the centre back to the string tied around the
waist.
Y to C - Front Shoulder to Waist - Measure from the centre of the front shoulder, over the bust point
(nipple), to the waist.
A to X - Armhole Depth - This is generally a standard measurement, but if the arm or shoulder is well
developed, this measurement is well worth having. Place a tape measure or piece of string across the
back under the arms and measure down from the neck bone to the centre of the tape.
E to F - Waist to Hip - This is generally a standard measurement, but it's worth having. Measure from
the string tied around the waist down to the fullest part of the hips.
C to D - Waist to Desired Length of Garment.
T to U - Inside Leg.
R to S - Waist to Floor - Measure from the waist to the floor at the centre back.
1 to 2 - Body Rise - Sit on a hard chair and have someone else take the measurement at the side
from your waist to the chair.
L to M - Sleeve Length - Place the hand on the hip so the arm is bent. Measure from the shoulder
bone, over the elbow and down to the wrist bone to where you want the sleeve to end.
