HOW TO MEASURE
- You should take off everything except your underwear to get an accurate measurement.
- Wear no shoes when measuring.
- No need to find a seamstress, because our measuring guide is very easy to follow. Plus, seamstresses usually take the measurements without referring to our guide, which might result in a poor fit.
- Please measure everything 2-3 times to be certain.
