Standard Measurements
At I Unique, we want to be sure that fashion items you buy from us fit properly and that you feel comfortable and look great in your new clothes. All our fashion products come in standard sizes, but we realise that these standard sizes don’t always reflect reality, so it is always a good idea to measure first. If you find that the standard sizes will not fit you perfectly, you can contact us with your requirements and we canmake a custom order and tailor your garment(s) to your specific needs at no extra cost. So if you're not entirely sure that our standard sizes will fit you, be on the safe side and measure!
How to measure yourself
The important thing about measuring yourself is to relax. Wear your usual undergarments, breath normally and don’t pull tight on the measuring tape. You should leave enough space when bringing the tape together to allow it to move freely around the area you are measuring (if you can insert one finger under the tape, this is usually enough). Take notes of the following measurements in centimetres.
Bust size (Jackets, Tops and Dresses)
Wearing a regular bra, circle the tape under your arms and measure around the fullest part of your bust and your shoulder blades. This is NOT the same measurement as your bra size.
Waist size (Jackets, Tops, Dresses, Skirts, Trousers and Shorts)
Measure around your natural waistline between the top of the hip bones and the lower ribs, about 42cm down from the nape of your neck.
Hips (Dresses, Skirts, Trousers and Shorts)
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 20cm below your waistline.
Back width (Jackets, Tops and Dresses)
Measure from the tip of one shoulder (at the joint where your arm meets your shoulder) across the top of the neckline to the tip of your other shoulder.
Inside leg (Trousers)
Measure the distance the distance between the top of your inner thigh to the desired end point.
Upper Arm (Jackets, Tops, and Dresses)
Measure around the fullest part of the arm – halfway between the elbow and shoulder.
Length from shoulder (Dresses)
For the desired length of dresses, jackets, tops etc., measure from the top of the shoulder and over the fullest part of your bust to the desired end of the garment.
Sleeve length (Jackets, Tops and Dresses)
Measure from the tip of your shoulder to the wrist, bending your arm slightly at the elbow.
