Take the length measurement from the collarbone.

2. Bust
Take the measurement across the fullest part.

3. Waist
Measure around the natural wasitline.

4. Hips
measure at the widest part.

5. Inside leg
Measure from the top fo the inside leg at the crotch to the ankle bone.

Finished garment sizes will vary depending on whether the style is designed to be worn close fitting or loose fitting according to fashion.

Trouser Lengths (for all sizes)

Petite inside leg 27 1/2” (70cm)
