Oftentimes, understanding your body shape is not that easy. We perceive ourselves and those around us subjectively, which means our eyes and mirror can play tricks on us. But if you take a few simple measurements and analyze them, it will be very easy for you to determine your body shape.
How to take measurements correctly
In order to get accurate measurements, it’s better to remove your outer clothes and measure your body over your underwear. Or you can put on tight sporty clothes like a tank top and leggings.
1. Bust girth
Wrap a measuring tape over your bust and adjust it so it’s parallel to the floor. Make sure it runs along with the most prominent points and rests on the chest freely, without overtightening it. Check the measurement and jot down the result.
2. Waist Circumference
Wrap the measuring tape around your waist (usually it’s the narrowest part of your belly) again, adjusting so it’s parallel to the floor. Make sure it fits tightly against your body but don’t tighten it too much. Check the measurement and jot down the result.
An important note: Pay attention that your navel is lower than your waistline, not on it. The waist is normally located a few inches lower than the chest.
3. Hip girth
Place the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips, lower than your hip bone. Wrap it around your hips and slide over the prominent points of your buttocks. Make sure the tape is located horizontally and jot down the result that you get.
4. Shoulder girth
Wrap the measuring tape around your shoulders so that it goes around their widest part and so it’s positioned horizontally. Take the measurement and write it down.
An important note: It’s quite difficult to take this measure by oneself that’s why it’s better to ask for someone’s help in advance.
After you take all the measurements, analyze the results of your measurements.
