Chest circumference
Neatly button up or button down your shirt and lay it flat (flatten out any creases). Place your tape measure just
below the point where your sleeve meets the armpit, then measure evenly from one edge to the other and double
the number obtained to get your final chest size. (Fig 3)

Waist circumference

The waist area is usually about 8 inches from your shirt’s armhole. Thus, place your measuring tape 8 inches
below each of your shirt’s armpits, then measure across, from one end to the other and double the result for your
final waist size. (Fig 4)
