Dear ladies,
How to measure your PIT to PIT
-
Stand straight and relaxed.
-
Use a soft measuring tape and measure from one armpit to the other end around your chest.
-
Make sure the tape is snug but not tight, and that it lies flat against your chest.
Or
- Choose a well-fitting top (e.g., T-shirt or blouse) that’s similar in style and material.
-
Lay it flat on a table or any smooth surface, making sure there are no wrinkles.
-
Measure straight across the chest, from one armpit seam to the other and multiply by 2. This is your pit-to-pit measurement.
-
Compare this measurement to the item you’re interested in.
FOR THE HIPS:
To check if a bottom or dress will fit well at the hips, follow these steps:
-
Stand with your feet together, in a natural and relaxed position.
-
Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks. This is usually about 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below your natural waistline.
-
Make sure the tape is level all around (parallel to the floor) and lies flat against your body without digging in or hanging loose.
-
Note the number where the tape meets — this is your hip measurement (in full circumference).
Compare your hip measurement to the size chart or product listing. For non-stretch or fitted items, allow some room (about 1–2 inches or 2.5–5 cm) for comfort.
Disclaimer:
All measurements are taken by hand and may vary slightly from the stated dimensions. Please allow for a 1–3 cm (or 0.5–1.2 inch) difference due to manual measuring methods. We recommend comparing the measurements to a similar item you already own for the best fit.
