How to measure women’s shirts

Shirts come in many beautiful designs, from simple, basic shirts to stylish shirts. In addition to shirts designed according to measurements, there are unisex shirts that only have one size. If you love long and loose shirt styles, you can choose your favorite model. For small, short shirts according to measurements, women should rely on the following shirt measurements:
Measure around:
Butt circumference: number 12
Bottom ring: number 11
Chest circumference: number 10
Chest height: number 9
Necklace: number 8

Measure shoulder and arm:
  • Sleeve length: 6 down 7
  • Shoulder width: 5 to 6
Length measurement:
  • Bottom length: 1 down 3
  • Shoulder drop: 1 down 2
  • Shirt length: 1 down 4
When measuring a shirt, you need to be sure to measure each part accordingly, avoid measuring again and again, which will cause errors. Besides measuring by shirt and body length, you can also measure by height. This will help us have more accurate measurements. Take measurements from the back of your neck to your heels. For example, you measure 130cm => shirt length = 45% of height – 25.5cm (-2cm); Bottom length=6/10 shirt length.
Measure your waist, buttocks, bottom, and chest by measuring around the waist, closely fitting. For the butt and bottom, measure with the two ends of the measuring tape meeting at the edge. Chest width is measured when the two ends of the measuring tape meet in the middle of the chest.

How to choose the right women’s shirt according to body shape

Choose women’s shirts according to your skinny body shape

With a curvy figure, choose puffy sleeves and bright colors. Avoid dark-colored shirts that will make your body look thinner. Bright colors help the body look fatter. Don’t choose shirts that are tight on your body, choose shirts that are a bit looser to hide your flaws.

Choose women’s shirts according to tall body shape and big shoulders

For tall people with big shoulders, avoid puffy sleeves and bright colors. You should choose a shirt style with shoulders that are narrower and farther back than the shoulders. This will help hide the defect of large shoulders. However, the shoulders should not be sewn too narrow because it will make the wearer uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Choose women’s shirts according to your round body shape

For people with round and chubby bodies, you should not choose tight shirts. At the same time, stay away from bright tones and choose dark tones. Choosing stretchy fabric instead of shiny fabric will make you look fatter. Choose the patterns on your shirt carefully, instead of choosing large patterns, choose small patterns.

Calculate fabric standards for measuring women’s shirts

To sew a normal shirt, we can measure as follows:
  • Fabric size 80cm = 1 sleeve length + 2 shirt lengths
  • Fabric size 90cm = 2 shirt lengths + 20cm
  • Fabric width 70cm = 2 times shirt length + 70cm
Calculate the area of the fabric surface compared to the standard value, fabric size, and measurement. For example, the standard is 1.17m2 to fit a women’s shirt. Bust circumference is 80-84cm; length is 58-60cm; arm length is 44-48cm. So there will be fabric length = standard / width = 1.17×0.9 = 1.3m.
Choosing to sew and measure women’s shirts according to the correct measurements and body shape will help women choose the right shirt for themselves. In addition to measuring women’s shirts, women can also tailor and measure shirts for relatives. Besides, if you buy online, you can also rely on measurements based on height, weight and body shape to choose the right shirt.
