When ordering tops, dresses, swimwear etc.
Ensure you choose the right size, simply measure around the fullest part of your bust. It can be a little difficult to measure yourself accurately so always ask someone to help.
When ordering skirts and trousers
Measure around the fullest part of the hip to discover the size you need as above. For inside leg measurement: lay your best-fitting pair of trousers flat and measure from the top of the inside leg down to the ankle.
