Ladies, want to know your body size to get a perfect fit for the outfits you buy online?
Simple. Measure your chest, waist and hips then refer to the international measurement chart to see where you fall.
If you have ever shopped online for clothes, then you understand the hassle of trying to find apparel that fits well.
Some
women have experienced the inconvenience and expense of adjusting their
newly acquired clothes in order to achieve the fit they want while
others just had to sell them.
According
to Maureen Bandari, a fashion blogger, the most important thing is to
first establish the country of origin of the outfit you want before even
checking the sizes.
“This helps you
to adjust your own measurements to the international measurements chart
that gives what inches are equivalent to what body size,” she added.
The
international chart, which is available online, gives a range of bust,
waist and hip measurements that are equivalent to the different sizes in
certain countries.
The common
US/Canada size 8, for instance, is for a woman with a bust size of 35-36
inches, a waist of 27-28 inches and hips of 37-38 inches.
WHICH SIZE FITS?
The
US/Canada size 8 is equivalent to a size 12 in the UK, size 11 in
Japan, size 38 in Europe, size 44 in Italy and size 40 in France.
When
measuring the bust, waist and hips women are advised to be keen on the
measurements and consult a professional tailor if possible.
