How to Measure for Tops and Blouses
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure level across your back.
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, typically just above the belly button.
- Shoulder Width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder across to the other.
- Sleeve Length: Start from the shoulder seam down to the wrist, with your arm slightly bent.
- Full Length: Measure from the top of the shoulder to the desired length on your torso, usually just below the waistline or to the hips for longer tops.
Tips for Choosing the Right Fit for Tops and Blouses
- Consider Style: Fitted tops may require a more accurate bust and waist measurement, while loose or flowy tops offer flexibility.
- Fabric Type: Fabrics like cotton and linen may shrink slightly, so allow a bit of extra room if possible.
- Layering Needs: If you intend to layer a top or blouse, consider sizing up slightly for comfort.
- Shoulder Fit: A well-fitting shoulder seam enhances the overall look and ensures that the top or blouse sits comfortably.
