How to measure for your Shirae.

1. Wear the bra you expect to wear with your Shirae and a thin, close-fitting layer.
2. Pass the tape around your back and the fullest part of your bust. Keep it level all the way around.
3. Lower your arms, breathe normally and read the full circumference without compressing the bust.

Check before recording: Do not use your bra size or a flat shirt width.

1. Place the tape just under the armpits and above the fullest part of the bust.
2. Wrap it around the upper back; it may angle slightly at your sides to stay above the bust.
3. Relax your arms before reading. Keep the tape close without pulling it into the body.

Check before recording: This is a separate measurement above the bust, not the full-bust tape line.

1. Bend gently to one side to find the natural waist crease, then stand upright.
2. Tie a narrow ribbon there as a level reference and measure around that line.
3. Breathe normally. Keep the tape touching your body without sucking in or adding extra room.

Check before recording: A trouser waistband or the belly button may not sit at your natural waist.

1. Stand with your feet together and find the widest level around your hips and seat.
2. Wrap the tape around that full circumference, checking in a mirror that it stays horizontal.
3. Slide the tape a little up and down to confirm you have measured the fullest level.

Check before recording: Use full hip/seat, not high hip or the shirt hem. If you entered either of those previously, remeasure this field.

1. Ask a helper to locate the outer shoulder points where each shoulder turns into the upper arm.
2. With your shoulders relaxed, measure from one point to the other across the upper back.
3. Keep the endpoints on those outer shoulder points; do not route the tape up around the neck.

Check before recording: This is the full shoulder-to-shoulder width, not one neck-to-shoulder seam.

1. Let your arm hang relaxed. Find the fullest part of the upper arm.
2. Wrap the tape around that part of the arm, keeping it perpendicular to the arm.
3. Record the complete loop with the tape resting lightly against the skin or thin clothing.

Check before recording: Do not flex the muscle or add sleeve ease to this body measurement.

1. Ask a helper to place the tape over the outer shoulder point and down around the underarm.
2. Let the tape form a complete loop around the shoulder joint while your arm rests naturally.
3. Keep the loop close and comfortable, then read where the tape ends meet.

Check before recording: Record the full circumference. Do not enter vertical armhole depth or a flat garment measurement.

1. Relax your hand and find the wrist-bone level.
2. Wrap the tape completely around the wrist at that level.
3. Read the circumference with the tape close, without tightening it or adding a cuff allowance.

Check before recording: This is your wrist measurement, not the finished cuff width.

1. Find the base of the neck where a shirt collar would sit.
2. Wrap the tape around that base, following the neck comfortably without lifting it toward the jaw.
3. Read the complete circumference. Keep your head upright and do not pull the tape tight.

Check before recording: Only requested after you select a collar. Enter the body measurement without adding collar ease.

1. Find the high shoulder point: where the base of your neck meets your shoulder.
2. Place the tape there and follow the front of your body to the fullest projecting point of the bust on the same side.
3. Keep your usual bra on and measure without lifting or flattening the bust.

Check before recording: Start beside the neck, not at the outer shoulder or centre-front throat.

1. With your usual bra on, identify the fullest projecting point of each bust.
2. Measure the direct distance across the front from one bust point to the other.
3. Keep the tape straight between these landmarks without pulling the bust inward.

Check before recording: This is a front distance between two points, not a circumference around your body.

1. Keep a narrow ribbon tied at your natural waist.
2. Start at the high shoulder point beside the neck, then run the tape over the bust point on that same side.
3. Follow the body’s contour down to the waist ribbon. Ask a helper to read the tape while you stand upright.

Check before recording: Measure down the front over the bust, not down the back or through the air.

1. Start at the outer shoulder point where the shoulder meets the arm.
2. Measure along the outside of the arm to your chosen sleeve end; keep the elbow slightly bent for a long sleeve.
3. For a wrist-length sleeve, pass the tape over the elbow to the wrist bone. For shorter sleeves, stop at the desired end.

Check before recording: Do not start at the neck or the underarm. The diagram shows a long sleeve; choose your own finishing point.

1. Start at the high shoulder point beside the neck.
2. Run the tape down the front over the bust, following your body to where you want the shirt hem.
3. Use a mirror or helper to check the finishing point, then record the total shoulder-to-hem distance.

Check before recording: Include the full front length. Do not measure from the waist, centre-front throat or a tucked-in shirt.

1. Identify the high shoulder point beside your neck.
2. Run the tape diagonally down the front to the lowest point you want your neckline to reach.
3. Check that point in a mirror with your intended bra or layer. Record the tape distance from the shoulder point.

Check before recording: For Shirae this starts at the high shoulder point, not the hollow of the throat. It is a preferred opening depth.
