Avoid Costly Mistakes: Knowing the exact dimensions of a product helps you avoid costly mistakes. Imagine buying a sofa that doesn’t fit through your doorway or ordering a dress that’s too tight because you didn’t measure properly. Accurate measurements prevent these mishaps.
Online Shopping: With the rise of online shopping, measuring becomes even more critical. When you can’t try items on in person, relying on accurate measurements ensures a better fit and reduces the need for returns.
How to measure?
Measure Yourself:
Use a soft tape measure (similar to what tailors use) to measure your bust, waist, hips, and inseam.
Measure with your undergarments on for clothing items. This gives a better idea of how the clothing will fit over them.
For outerwear, consider measurements with your clothes on to account for layering.
Consider the Model’s Fit:
Models often have different body types, so don’t assume that how something looks on them will be the same for you.
Pay attention to specific details. For example, if a cropped top looks good on a tall model, it might be just right for you if you’re shorter.
