Sizing Guide Instructions: How to Measure Clothing Size?

Getting the right fit is crucial when ordering online. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to take your measurements accurately:

1. Gather Your Tools:

A soft measuring tape (the flexible kind used in sewing, not the rigid carpenter's kind).

A full-length mirror.

Someone to help (optional, but can be useful, especially for measurements on the back).

2. Wear Proper Clothing:

Wear close-fitting clothing or just undergarments to get accurate measurements.

Remove bulky items like wallets or phones from your pockets.

3. Measure Chest/Bust:

Stand straight with your arms relaxed on your sides.

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest/bust (usually right under your armpits). Ensure the tape is parallel to the ground and not too tight or too loose.

4. Measure Waist:

Find your natural waistline. This is typically the narrowest part of your waist, about an inch above your belly button.

Keep the tape slightly loose (so that you can fit a finger underneath).

5. Measure Hips:

Stand with your feet together.

Measure around the fullest part of your hips, which is usually 7 to 9 inches below your natural waist.

6. Measure Sleeve Length (if needed for the specific product):

Place your hand on your hip with your arm bent at a 90-degree angle.

Measure from the middle of the back of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.

7. Measure Inseam (for pants):

Start from the highest point of the inside of your thigh to the bottom of your ankle. For accuracy, it's best to measure this on a well-fitting pair of pants.

Tips:

Always measure more than once to ensure accuracy.

If you're in between sizes, consider whether you want a tighter fit or a looser fit and choose accordingly. Or you could go by the style of the clothing; for example, for a fitted shirt, you might choose the smaller size, but for a more relaxed shirt, you might choose the larger size.

Final Note:

Different brands and manufacturers might have slightly different sizing. Always refer to Anime Bape's size chart for the most accurate fit. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to contact our customer support.
