How We Measure
We always measure the width of an item. If you want to find the circumference, simply double the listed measurement. If you have something in your wardrobe that fits like a glove and you love how it feels, take the measurements of that piece and compare it to ours. Below, find handy advice on measuring everything from sleeve length to inside leg.
Sleeve length
We measure the sleeve length from the side edge of the neckline to the end of the sleeve.

Waist
We measure the waist 41 cm below the side edge of the neckline. To find out the waist circumference of an item, double the listed measurement.
