How to measure to find your 'Body Shape'


Watch Sophie P and Lynette talk us through how to measure your body.


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 measuring tape like it’s a belt. If you want an easy way to make sure you’re measuring the right spot, bend slightly to the side. You’ll likely see a small crease form — that’s your natural waistline.

Hips: Hold one end of the measuring tape on the front of one of your hips, then wrap the measuring tape around yourself. Make sure you go over the largest part of your buttocks.
