How To Take Your Own Measurements For A T-Shirt?

To find your right size online or offline, it is important to know what is exactly your size. For this, you will need to take a few measurements of your body and keep them handy.

• Start measuring your shoulders, from one end to the other. Make sure you are standing in a relaxed position. The exact position of placing the measuring tape would be the stitch from where the sleeves begin. If you find it difficult to do it on your own, take someone's help and ask them to note the measurement down in a notebook.
• To measure your chest, take the measuring tape around the chest area and bring it across the broadest part of your chest. Make sure you are standing in a relaxed posture and aren't puffing your chest. Bring the measuring tape to the center and write down the number on the notepad.

• Next, it is important to measure your waist. It is crucial because you can end up ruining your entire look if the t-shirt is too loose or too tight around the stomach area. Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, the narrowest part. The measuring tape should be a few inches above your hip and below your ribcage. Do not loosen or suck in your stomach, stay in a normal position and note down the measurement.

• Measure your hip area by wrapping the tape around the hip bone. Bring it to the other end. The measuring tape should measure the largest part of your hips and it should include your buttocks too. This measurement will be really helpful if you like carrying longer t-shirts than usual. (how to carry white t-shirts)
• It is also important to note down your overall t-shirt length to get the correct size depending on your body type. Keep one end of the measuring tape at the edge of the neckline seam and pull it down to the front hem. If you are wearing the t-shirt of your choice, write down the length accordingly or you can tweak the measurements accordingly.

• Today, you will find a variety of sleeve lengths, right from cap sleeves to elbow sleeves and you might want to stick to one or be interested in trying different sleeve lengths. Just hold the measuring tape from one end of the sleeve stitch to the end or where you would want your t-shirt to fall down and note down.
• Now that you have all the basic measurements which are present online, it will be easier for you to find the correct fit for yourself. Remember that you might not always find your exact number but with your measurements, you can find a size that is closest to your body type. (dressing guide for every body type)

Check For The Fabric Type

Finding the right measurement isn't enough to get the perfect t-shirt. Along with the measurements, make sure you check for the fabric too. When you shop for a t-shirt online, brands have clearly mentioned the fabric used in making the t-shirt. You will find most of them made of 100 percent cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fiber. Choose the right one depending on your preference.

Look For The Fit

A lot of times brands have mentioned the fit of the t-shirt. There are times when you find a mention by the brand about the fit, for instance, it might be a slim or an oversize fit and this will affect the measurement. A good thing about shopping online is that pictures of a model wearing that t-shirt will give you an idea of how the t-shirt will look on your body type.
