How to Measure

Lay your garment flat on a level surface and smooth out any wrinkles before measuring. Follow these two steps to find your ideal size:

(A) Body Width: Measure straight across the chest from one underarm seam to the other. This "Body Width" measurement represents the width of the garment, not the full circumference of your chest.
(B) Body Length: Measure vertically from the highest point of the shoulder (where the collar meets the shoulder seam) down to the very bottom of the hem.
