Waist: Bend to one side to find the natural crease of your waist. Then, standing straight, make sure the tape fits comfortably around your waist.

Hips: With your feet together, measure the fullest part of the hips, ensuring the tape is parallel to the floor.

Girth: With someone's help, run the tape measure from the right shoulder at the corner of the neck. Make sure to go over the fullest part of the chest, down through the center of the crotch. Finally, go up your back to the corner of the neck on the left shoulder. Be sure to keep the tape taut and not twisted. The measuring tape ends should not meet.
