Shoulder width
Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, across the back.
Sleeve length
From the centre back of the neck, over the shoulder and down the arm to the wrist bone.
Inseam
From the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the desired length (e.g. top of shoe or ankle).
Tips for accurate measurements
- Use a soft, flexible measuring tape.
- Stand naturally; don’t suck in or puff out.
- Keep the tape snug but not tight.
- Measure over thin clothing or underwear for consistency.
- If possible, have someone else take the measurements.
