Measurements Needed for Your Style Session

To prepare properly for your appointment, I’ll need a few current body measurements from you ahead of time. Even for in-person sessions, having this information in advance allows me to assess proportion and scale more accurately.

Please take current measurements rather than relying on numbers from a past records. Height and body proportions can change over time, often without us realizing it.

Height

• Stand with your heels, back, shoulders, and head against a wall

• Keep your chin parallel to the floor

• Place a flat-edged book vertically on top of your head so the edge rests against the wall

• Mark the wall at the base of the book

• Measure from the floor to the mark

• Record the measurement in inches

Wrists (Both)

• Measure the circumference of both wrists

• Measure at the narrowest point just above the wrist bone

• Measure snugly, but not tight

• Please include measurements for both the left and right wrist

Bust / Chest

• Measure around the widest part of the chest

• Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor

• Measure around the torso itself, not over bulky clothing

Waist

• Measure around the narrowest part of the waist

• For men, this is typically between the belly button and the hips

• For women, this may sit higher or lower depending on natural waist placement

• Keep the tape relaxed and level

Hips (Women Only)

• Measure around the widest part of the hip area

• This is often where the leg naturally breaks from the torso

• Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor

These measurements play an important role in the accuracy of your appointment. Taking a few extra minutes to measure carefully helps ensure your session is as personalized and effective as possible.
