How to measure your full body from head to toe
1. Chest/Bust
Measure around the fullest part of the chest/bust. Do not draw the tape too
tightly.
2. Center Back Neck–to-Cuff
With arm slightly bent, measure from back base of neck across shoulder
around bend of elbow to wrist.
3. Back Waist Length
Measure from the most prominent bone at base of neck to the natural waistline.
4. Cross Back
Measure from shoulder to shoulder.
5. Sleeve Length
With arm slightly bent, measure from armpit to cuff.
6. Upper Arm
Measure around the widest section of the upper arm located above the elbow.
7. Armhole Depth
Measure from the top outside edge of the shoulder down to the armpit.
8. Waist
Measure your waist at the smaller circumference of your natural waist, usually
just above the belly button.
9. Hip
Measure at the widest part of your lower hip.
10. Head
For an accurate head measure, place a tape measure across the forehead
and measure around the full circumference of the head. Keep the tape snug
for accurate results.
11. Sock Measurements
The following measurements are for crew-style or dress socks, which usually
come several inches above the ankle and below the calf.
11a. Foot Circumference:
To determine the foot circumference, measure around the widest part of
your foot.
11b. Sock Height:
To determine the height of the sock, measure from where you start to turn for
the heel shaping to the top of the sock.
11c. Total Foot Length:
To measure the total length of your foot, place a ruler or tape measure on the
floor. Position the back of your heel at the beginning of the tape and the
measure to your longest toe.
