How the Ultimate Measuring Guide Works
You’ll start with circumference measurements. Then you’ll take “quarter body” measurements to see how your left and right, back and front differ. Next, you’ll take diagonal and curved measurements to capture these dimensions. Finally, you’ll take vertical measurements to assess height and length.
Measurements marked with * are especially useful for mature figures, as we tend to need more room in these areas as we age.
