Dress Shirt Measurements


You Need:

1. A fabric tape measure
2. A friend to help with the measurements
3. Wear a properly fitted shirt, no belt, and pants with your pockets empty.

Measuring Guide

• The tape should always be snug, never twisted, and never pulled fully tight.
• Measurements are to be taken in inches to the nearest quarter inch.
• When taking measurements do not give yourself extra room, we will do that on our end
• Stand with your normal posture, no puffing out chests or trying to correct your posture during measuring.

Shoulder Slope

Dress Shirt Length

• Measure straight down the front from the base of the neck (right or left side) to the point level with your thumb knuckle.

Chest

• Measure around the chest and body at its fullest part (typically right under the armpits and shoulder blades, right across the nipples).
• Hold the tape against the body tight enough so that it does not slip down, but not so tight that it restricts breathing. It should be “snug”.
• Make sure the tape is horizontal and your arms are by your side
• Do not puff out your chest
• Double-check this measurement.

Stomach

• Measure around the fullest part of the waist/stomach.
Usually within an inch of your belly button.

Hips

• Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
• Double check this measurement

Shoulders

• Measure from the end of the right shoulder to the end of the left shoulder.
• We define the “End of the Shoulder” as where the horizontal plane of the shoulder intersects the vertical plane of the arm (see illustration).
Feel for the edge of your bone. Measure to that point.
• Double check measurement.

Sleeves

• Measure from the end of the right shoulder bone to the bottom of your finger knuckle.
• Double-check this measurement.
• Repeat measurement from the end of the left shoulder bone to the bottom of your finger knuckle.
• Double-check this measurement.

Neck

• Measure around your neck at the height where your collar, if buttoned, would be.
• This measurement should be taken along the lower
section of the neck, below your Adams Apple and
above your Sternal Notch.
• The tape should be comfortably touching the skin,
with enough room so that you do not feel
restricted.

Biceps

• Measure around the fullest part of your bicep with your arms by your side.
• Measure both arms & record the larger measurement.

Front

• Measure from the "pinch" between your arm and armpit across to the "pinch" on the other side
• Do not measure under the armpit

Back

• Measure from the "pinch" between your arm and armpit across to the "pinch" on the other side
• Do not measure under the armpit
