Each and every person in this world has a definite body shape, which is decided by his hip to waist ratio. For determining this ratio, it is important for a person to measure his hips and waist separately. Moreover, all such measurements are also taken while getting a dress stitched. Thus, measurement of various parts helps you to buy a perfect dress for yourself, which accentuates your body curves and shapes. If you wish to know how to measure your hips, read the tips given below.
Tips for Measuring Your Hips
- The first and foremost thing to do is to look out for a proper tape measure. As the tape measure used for domestic improvement projects does not always give accurate measurements, one should look out at craft stores or fabric stores, for a loose tape measure. This one is not made of any metal and provides accurate results.
- After this, make sure your clothes are body-fitting and do not have much loose material around the hips area.
- Now, take the loose tape measure and wrap it around your hip area. The tape measure should be wrapped around the fullest part of the hip area that is always over the buttocks.
- To make sure the tape measure is straight and parallel to the ground, use a small handheld mirror to look into the larger mirror. The tape measure should be wrapped closely to your body, but it should not be cutting into your flab.
- Lastly, note the number on the tape measure and know the measurement of your hips.
