How to Find Size for Women's and Misses' Garments. Bust Measure—Take measurement over your shirtwaist or dress. Pass tape measure entirely around the body, over the fullest part of the bust, well up under the arms and over the shoulder blades in back. Do not take this measurement too tight, and be careful tape line does not slip down. Make no allowance, but give us the size indicated by tape measure. Waist Measure—Take measurement around the smallest part of your waist, which is your natural waistline. Be sure tape line is passed completely and evenly around the waistline. Do not take measurement too tight and be careful that tape measure does not slip up or down. Hip Measure—Pass tape measure completely and evenly over skirt at fullest part of hips. Do not allow tape measure to slip up or down, and don't draw it too tight. Length of Skirt—This measurement should be taken over your dress or skirt. Place tape line at your natural waistline (3), and extend it downward until you reach the desired length (4). Length of Dress—Take measure from base of neck, marked "A", to bottom of skirt, marked "B". How to Order Men's and Youths' Clothing. Remove all bulky articles from your pockets.
