Get That Measurement Right!
How to Measure Your Waist
- Stand up straight. Make sure your outer garments are removed because you need to measure on the skin and not over clothing to ensure you get the most accurate measurement.
- Locate the middle part of the rib cage and the top of the hip bone.
- Place the tape measure at that middle point and then wrap it around the natural waist with one end overlapping the other.
- Breathe normally and record the measurements accordingly.
