Inspired by Strings...Measuring

[TigerBear]

Any tips for taking measurements? What areas of your body do you measure? How can you get the most accurate measurement?

I tried measuring my stomach multiple times today and it seems easy to get measurements that are different by an inch or so.

I've always read and been told to measure 2 inches above navel for waist. And around widest part of hips for hip.

I just try to measure the biggest part.

Wow, I inspired a thread.

I measure my bust at it's largest part. I measure my waist at the point that I "bend". Curves taught me that one. Bend side to side, then where the bend is I mark it with a finger. then measure. My hips are the widest part. Yo measure my thighs, I stand with my legs slughtly apart and put my hands to my sides. I measure at the tip of my index finger. I try to measure at the middle of my arm.

sorry for the horrible grammer tonight.
