How To Measure Your Size

Be sure to keep the tape level, and not too tight. Then use the chart as a guide, but allow for some variance based on how you prefer the garment to fit.
CHEST: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
WAIST: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
