Follow these guidelines when measuring:

1) Measure garment with flexible tape. 2) All measurements are to be taken with garment laid flat on table. 3) All fabric fullness should spread out but not stretched out. 4) All closure (hook, button, snap, zipper, etc) should be close when measuring garment, unless otherwise specified. 5) Measurements should be taken with garment pinned to ensure greater stability and accuracy. 6) For pant waistband, place front evenly over back and measure from side to side. 7) Pant high hip and low hip are measured 2-points straight from side to side. 8) All knitwear should be measured on smooth surface.
Please refer to spec sheet for actual points of measurement and requirements.
