Measure around your waist, in your underwear, at the point where your trousers would normally ride. Keep one finger between the tape and your body.
Hips
Stand with your heels together, and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
Rise
Hold the tape at the center back of your waist. Run the tape between your legs, pulling comfortably at the crotch, and up to your natural waist in front. The total measurement is your rise.
Inseam
Select a pair of your best-fitting pants of a similar material. Lay the pants flat and measure from the center of the crotch to the bottom of one leg. The number of inches, to the nearest half-inch, is the inseam length.
Height
Stand in stocking feet with your feet slightly apart and your back to a wall. Measure from the floor to the top of your head.
Regular, Petite, Tall or 16W - 26W?
Regular
Regular describes a well-proportioned body 5'4"-5'7" tall, with hips slightly larger than bust.
Petite
Petite, at 4'11"-5'3" tall, is not only shorter but also proportioned smaller, scaled down in shoulder width and sleeve length.
Tall
Tall, at 5'8"-6'0", accommodates long torsos. Body length increases 1 1/2" and sleeve length increases 1" from our Regular fit.
16W - 26W
Womens 16W-26W is proportioned to flatter full-figured women 5'4"-5'7" tall. Compared to our Size 16, Size 16W is 2" larger in the bust, waist and hip. Arm girths are larger. Shoulder widths are shorter.
Cuffing and Hemming Lengths
We will be pleased to cuff or hem your trousers and pants free of charge. Please keep in mind these guidelines:
If you do not specify a cuffing or hemming length, your pants will be delivered unfinished. Please allow 1-2 days additional processing time for hemming and cuffing.
Remember to allow an extra 1/2 inch (1,5 cm) for shrinkage in 100% cotton items.
Some jeans and corduroy trousers can be hemmed but not cuffed.
As indicated in the charts below, the maximum inseam for cuffed pants is 2 inches less than the maximum for straight hemmed ("uncuffed") pants. This is because creating a cuff requires 2 inches of fabric.
