How to Measure Yourself for
that Perfect Plus Size Fit: Plus Size Measurement's Guide

It can be
frustrating to spend time selecting and purchasing your Plus Size
Clothing only to find out the clothes do not fit properly.
Hopefully, this Measurements Guide will help you get that perfect
fit from your plus size apparel, swim wear or
lingerie. You will need a
standard measuring tape. If your measurements show that you are
between two sizes, buy the larger size.
Bust – With a bra on and your clothes off, measure around
the fullest part of bust and under the arms. Keep the tape
straight across your back.
Waist – While in a relaxed position, measure around the
narrowest part of your natural waist. Keep the tape somewhat snug,
but still comfortably loose.
Hips - Stand with your legs and feet together and measure
around the fullest part of your hips.
Inseam - Measure from the crotch point to your ankle bone.
Or using a pair of your pants that fit you well, lay them flat
with the front and back creases together.

-
Pull a tape measure snugly around your
ribcage, directly under the breast. If the measurement is below
33, add 5” to determine your Band Size. If the measurement is
above 33, add 3” to determine your Band Size. (i.e. if the
measurement is 29”, the back size is 34; if the measurement is
35”, the back size is 38).
Cup Size Measurement - With your bra
on, measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust.
Subtract your band measurement from your cup measurement (each
inch is a cup size). For example, if your band measurement is
34” and your cup measurement is 36”, then the difference between
these measurements is two inches, and you would wear a B-cup.
Important: Please refer to the
individual websites sizing chart to determine the appropriate
ordering size. Individual websites sizing charts may differ
slightly. Bra sizes may also vary slightly from one manufacturer
to the next
