Neck Wrap the tape around the neck just
below the adam's apple. Allow room for one index finger
between the tape and the neck. Another method is to use a
shirt with a well-fitting collar. Simply, lay the collar out
flat and measure from center of collar button to far end of
button hole.
Chest Measure around the fullest part of
chest. Keep the tape measure up under the arms and around the
shoulder blades
Waist Measure around the fullest part of
your waist.
Hips Measure around the hips at the
widest point
Length This figure includes the tail length so be
careful to measure from the lower back collar band seam all
the way down to below the hips.
Width of Shoulder
With your T-shirt on, measure from the back at
the end of one shoulder seam to the end of the other shoulder
seam.
Sleeve Length Measure each arm from the top of the
shoulder seam down to just below the wrist bone. Arm lengths
can differ slightly, so if the right arm measurement isn't the
same as the left don't be surprised. To doublecheck your
accuracy, measure from the tip of each thumb, up 4 1/2"
toward the wrist bone. Make a mark at this point. Now measure
from the shoulder seam down to the mark. This technique will
reveal the difference in arm lengths.
Wrist Measure around the fullest part of the
wrist.
