3 Steps To Find Your Perfect Fit

3 Steps To Find Your Perfect Fit

So many people consider their size to be the most important aspect of fashion. While shopping, it can be tough to know your measurements, find the perfect fit, or have the confidence to pick the right size.

Now, let's find your perfect fit in 3 easy steps and avoid having to return your clothes.

Step 1: Get A Tape Measure

Are you a fashion enthusiast who is obsessed with fit? Then you need a tape measure. After all, fashion is 80% fit and 20% clothes. Using a tape measure to capture your sizes can make all the difference between something looking fabulous or completely unflattering. If you know your measurements, it will be easier to compare sizes, determine the proper fit, and understand what works for you.

Step 2: Measure Where It Matters

When you shop with one brand, do you wear a large, but a small with another? The best way to find your not-so-secret size is to measure where it matters. We recommend starting with your neck, bust, and waist. These three measurements will help you find your perfect fit across hundreds of brands.

Use our tutorials to guide you through the process. If you are having trouble making sense of all the numbers or letters that come with each chart, use our article How To Use A Size Chart When Buying Clothes to better understand them.

How To Measure Your Neck

When it comes to clothing, measuring is very important, especially if you have a wide or narrow neck. It will be easy to find a garment that fits you perfectly and avoids discomfort. Clothing that isn't measured correctly will also be tight around the shoulders and underarms.

If you have a short neck, you should request a collarless garment so that there is no rubbing in this area.

How To Measure Your Bust

As you lose or gain weight, your bust size will change, affecting the look of clothes. An incorrectly sized dress can make you "look unkempt, and unstylish" as well as hide what might be flattering. 

You might take your own measurements for several reasons: fashion trends for women may call for different silhouettes at different times of the year, clothing styles may be available in different stores or locations, and manufacturers may use different body types to cut their patterns.

A comparison can be particularly helpful if your body type is intermediate, for which there are not many clothing options available.

How To Measure Your Waist

It is very important to measure your waist before buying new clothes. Your waist measurement determines the size of pants, skirts, jeans, shorts, and other bottoms that will fit you best. With a measuring tape, you can easily measure your waist in the privacy of your own home.


Step 3: Create A Size Profile

A size profile is where you keep all your body measurements. You can create it by measuring yourself and keeping your measurements on file to reference when you're shopping online or in-stores. A good size profile will also include your neck, bust, and waist measurements.

With a size profile, you'll always get the perfect fit. Every body is different, so it's important to keep your measurements on hand just in case. To find out your size and what style might suit you best, you can look at your size profile as a reference.
