There’s no denying that well-fitted shapewear can make a significant difference to your appearance and confidence. To get the perfect fit from AnyTypeShapeWear.co.uk, accurate body measurements are vital. In this post, we’ll guide you on how to correctly measure your body using a smart retractable body measuring tape.

Essential Tools

For this task, you’ll need a smart retractable body measuring tape. This tool is a brilliant accessory as it automatically retracts, allowing for easy and precise readings.

Key Measurements for Shapewear

Before starting, ensure you’re wearing minimal and well-fitted undergarments for the most accurate measurements. Here are the measurements you’ll need for selecting the perfect shapewear:

1. Bust Measurement:

• Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, ensuring it crosses over the nipple line and around your shoulder blades at the back. Hold the tape snugly but not too tight – it should not distort the bust.

2. Underbust Measurement:

• This is vital for shapewear that extends to the upper body. Position the tape around your body, directly under your bust, ensuring it’s straight and snug.

3. Waist Measurement:

• To identify your waist, bend to one side – the point where your body naturally creases is your waist. It’s usually an inch or two above your belly button. Wrap the tape around this point, keeping it parallel to the floor.

4. Hip Measurement:

• Stand with your feet together, and measure the fullest part of your hips. Unlike other measurements, this one can be slightly angled to capture the fullest point, usually around your buttock area.

Steps to Take Accurate Measurements

1. Stand Straight: Ensure you’re standing straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Avoid standing on tiptoes or slouching.
2. Use a Mirror: If possible, stand in front of a full-length mirror. This allows you to ensure the tape is positioned correctly.
3. Read at Eye Level: When reading your measurements, keep the tape at eye level. Do not bend or twist to see the numbers as this could affect the tape’s position and your measurement.
4. Don’t Hold Your Breath: Breathe normally when taking measurements. Holding your breath might give inaccurate results, leading to a less than perfect fit.
5. Record Your Measurements: Write down your measurements as soon as you read them off to avoid forgetting.
