What Kind of Measurements to Take for Women’s Clothes
Women want to know exactly how something will fit before they will buy. And I don’t blame them- I do the same thing myself. If I’m going to buy clothes online, I want to know whether it will work or not, and I can and do email sellers for measurements that they haven’t listed. To avoid this inconvenience as a seller, list as many relevant measurements as you can.
The waist and hips are a must for most items, such as pants and skirts. A form-fitting dress also needs these measurements. But, perhaps the most important measurement is the bust. To do this properly, lay the item flat and measure across the chest, just under the arm and then double that measurement. Pants, skirts and dresses also need a length measurement.
