How to measure correctly

For clothing charts, measure in the same unit the chart uses to avoid rounding drift. Convert once at the end rather than several times through the process.

• Use a soft tailoring tape rather than a rigid ruler.
• Keep the tape parallel to the floor the whole way round.
• Breathe out normally instead of holding your breath.
• Take each measurement twice and use the average.

Understanding these sizes

Sizing labels come from three different families: alpha labels such as S, M and L, numeric labels such as US 8 or EU 38, and measurement labels such as a 32 inch waist. Converting between them means moving between systems that were standardised separately, which is why offsets are conventions rather than exact rules.

Convert centimetres, inches, height and weight, and map measurements to sizes. Once you know your own measurements in centimetres, any chart in any region becomes readable, and a converter simply saves you the arithmetic.
