We offer two great ways to get your measurements - choose whatever works best for you!


Manual Measurements

This traditional approach gives you complete control over your measurements. If you're comfortable with a measuring tape, this might be perfect for you!


What You'll Need

  • Measuring tape (fabric tape, not metal!)

  • Mirror

  • Fitted clothing

  • 15-20 minutes

  • A friend to help (optional but helpful!)


The Process

  1. Waist (just below belly button)

    • Keep tape parallel to the ground

    • Take a natural measurement

    • Don't pull too tight or leave too loose

  2. Hip (fullest part)

    • Usually 7-9 inches below the waist

    • Keep tape level

    • Stand naturally

  3. Mid-thigh

    • Measure around the fullest part

    • Usually 2-3 inches below the crotch

    • Keep tape level

  4. Inseam

    • Measure from the crotch to your desired leg length

    • Consider what shoes you'll wear

    • This determines the length of your jeans


Helpful Tips

  • Measure twice to double-check

  • Don't pull the tape too tight

  • Keep tape parallel to the ground

  • Wear fitted clothing, not bulky items

  • Take measurements in front of a mirror if possible


Bodygram Option (COMING SOON!)

Don't have a measuring tape handy? Or maybe you'd prefer a tech solution? Bodygram is a great alternative!


How it Works

  2. Take two quick photos

When Bodygram Might Be Right For You

  • If you don't have a measuring tape
