Shoulders: Measure around your shoulders — across the upper back and your upper chest. You may need some help for this one.

Bust: Place one end of the tape measure on the fullest part of your bust, then wrap it around yourself. Make sure to go under your armpits and around your shoulder blades.

Waist: Circle your natural waistline — the area above your belly button but below your rib cage — with the tape like it’s a belt. To find the right spot, bend slightly to the side. The crease that forms is your natural waist.

Hips: Hold one end of the tape on the front of one hip, then wrap it around the largest part of your buttocks and hips.
