The measurements stated in our blog are taken flat across the garment and are given in centimetre. In order to determine whether apparel will fit you well, select a garment that you know fits you well (if you are looking to buy dress, measure a dress that fits you well) and lay it flat and measure across the front. Then, compare the measurements with our measurement (note that measuring you body directly may give you misleading measurement). Please allow 0.5-1 cm for discrepancy.
PTP (Pit-to-Pit)
Measure the width of the clothing from one pit to the other.
Waist
This refers to the natural waist: the thinnest part of your mid-section. So for a dress, the thinnest part is the waistband area. For pants or skirts, this refers to the top of the garment.
Hip
Measure the widest part of a skirt or pants, below the waistband.
Length
For tops and dresses, measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the garment. For pants and skirts, this is the measurement from the waist to the bottom.
