How to measure hips for proper fitting of clothes?

The right clothes can truly make a difference with how nice you would look like. Have you ever wondered why some people look lousy? It’s because they are usually wearing the wrong size. Measuring your hips can be a good factor in helping you choose your clothes properly.

For proper measurements, these are the things that you can do:

• Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips.

• You can use inches or centimeters depending on what you are more comfortable with.

• Do not make the tape measure too tight, it should still have a little bit of an allowance to make you feel more comfortable.

• Take note of the measurement that you have gotten.

Knowing how to measure the rest of your body parts will also help greatly.

1. If you want accurate measurements of your hips for proper fitting of clothes, start by removing your trousers and other outer clothes you might be wearing so that you can get an accurate measurement. This is possible since you would measure in your house. Better still, ensure that you do not have any clothing material around your hips, which can affect the accuracy of your measurement.

2. Position yourself by putting your feet together.

3. The next thing to do is to locate the widest point of your hips. You can only do this by first identifying the area of your hips.

4. Start measuring by putting the start of the tape at one point of the hip, make it go round your buttocks, and should cover the other side of the hip, after which you return to where you started.

5. The tape shouldn't be too tight as it goes around your hips.

6. You can also adjust the tape just to be sure you measure the widest point of your hips.

7. Finally, you can record the measurement.
