o Arm: Bend your arm to 90o. Place your hand on your hip. Start at the centre back of the neck, and measure across the shoulder to the elbow and down to the wrist. The number of inches equals your sleeve length.
o Bust/chest: With your arms relaxed down at your sides, measure the fullest part of the bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
o Hips: Stand with your heels together, keeping the tape straight and parallel to the floor. Measure around the fullest part.
o Neck: Measure around the base of the neck (the lowest point of the neck). Number of inches equals the neck size you should order.
