Taking body measurements undressed
Begin by taking your measurements when undressed.
Use the measurements to choose the best clothes size for you. When taking measurements, it helps to use a mirror to place the tape measure accurately on your body. Be sure to stand straight with relaxed shoulders, and avoid tensing your body. Take care to keep the tape measure level when measuring around your back.
