2. Hip Measurement
Put the tape measure around the fullest part of the buttocks. See figure 2.
3. Thigh Circumference
To get the thigh circumference, put the tape measurement around the widest
part of the thigh in line with the crotch. See figure 3.
4. Hem/Leg Opening
Put the tape measure around the leg where the outseam/shorts length
ends. See figure 4.
5. Outseam/Shorts Length
To get the skirt length, put the tape measure at the side of your waistline and
level down the tape measure up to desired skirt length. See figure 5.
