Measurement Guide

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS 

We advise using a proper fibreglass dressmakers tape. 

Never measure yourself. Always stand up straight and relaxed. 

Wear light clothing eg trousers and a t-shirt. 

Hold the tape measure snugly – not too firm or lose. 

Do not allow for extra clothing, we add extra!
