How to measure

For bust size, lift your arms and measure a circle around your body under the arms at the fullest point of your bra cup.

For bra size, you need to measure around your ribs, just underneath the bust area.

Measure around the natural waistline, which is the smallest part of your waist. Make sure you’re not breathing in when you measure.

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of your hips.

To measure girth, place your tape measure on the centre of your right shoulder, run the tape down the front of your body (allowing for any curves at your chest and abdomen) through the crotch and back up to your right shoulder.

Wear tights or tight-fitting trousers when you measure your inseam. In bare feet take the measurement starting from the crotch seam down the inside of your leg to the floor.

Your length measurement should be taken from waist to mid-calf (which is the widest part of the lower leg). The skirt length is measured from the waistband seam. Please don't be tempted to add too-much growing room as these skirts should not be worn too long.

Palm guards: measure the palm of the hand from the bracelet line on the wrist to the base of the middle finger.

REI Lady / REI Swisscup: measure the entire hand from the bracelet line on the wrist to the tip of the middle finger.
