How to measure
For the most accurate fit, use a flexible tape measure and follow the numbered guide shown.
1. Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, taking the tape underneath the arms. Use this measurement for blazers, blouses, knitwear and certain PE tops.
2. Collar
Measure around the base of the neck, allowing enough room to place two fingers between the neck and the tape.
3. Waist
Measure around the natural waistline. Use this measurement for skirts, trousers and shorts.
4. Inside leg
With shoes on, measure from the crotch to approximately 5 cm above the ground.
5. Dress and tunic length
Measure from the nape of the neck down to the required length. Use this measurement for tunics, pinafores and summer dresses.
6. Skirt length
Measure from the middle of the waist down to the required length.
