How to measure

...but first!

Before we are throwing aroud numbers, let’s first see what we can measure. We differentiate between body measurements and garment measurements.

body measurements

that are relevant for the garment you are viewing can be found on the product page unter “SIZE GUIDE”.

As the term describes, these measurements are the base for our garment construction and however loose we want the garment to fit, we add to them.

additional garment measurements

can be found on the product page in the tab “FIT & SIZES”.

These are measured on the garment itself and help find out if certain lengths will fit your body heigth, as they do not change significantly through our size range.

what you need

A measuring tape

A mirroR

(not necessary, but it makes things easier)

PRO TIPP

Ask a friend for help!

Measurements are numbers to help you choose the right size for you, not to control your body.

DO

Hold the tape close to your body, so measuring over the chosen body part is possible.
Wear little or light clothing, as to keep the measurements as precise as possible.

DON’T

Pull the tape too tightly so it digs into your skin and falsefies the measurement. The garment will most likely not fit either.
Wear bulky clothing such as jumpers and jeans over which you measure.
