How To Measure For Tops, Bottoms & More!

SOURPUSS_How_To_MeasureAre you asking yourself...How the heck do I know what size to choose?! It's easy, I swear it! Just follow the steps below to figure out what size works for you. You will then be able to shop for tops, dresses, bottoms & everything in between! Let's start at the beginning and most important. All of the size charts you see are specific to the brand and are garment measurements- not actual body measurements. With that being said, it is best to have a similar garment out to measure for comparison. The only tool you will need is a flexible tape measure. When comparing measurements, keep in mind that fabric can vary from item to item. A precise measurement is difficult to guarantee, so you should allow about a 1/2" difference between the listed measurements and the actual garment. Before measuring, lay the garment on a flat hard surface like a table or clean floor. Be sure you smooth the garment flat, especially the underside, to remove any wrinkles.
