Height

Remove your shoes and stand with your back against a wall. Ask someone to mark the top of your head on the wall and meaure from the mark to the floor.

Head circumference*

Start in the middle of your forehead at the level where you would naturally wear a hat. Take the tape 360° around your head until it meets.

A: Chest*

Start at the side of the body, at the fullest point of the chest line, then measure 360° around the body.

B: Natural waist*

Start the tape at the side waist and measure 360° round the widest part of the belly.

C: Hip*

Start at the side where you feel a hip bone. Take the tape 360° across the other hip bone and to meet.

D: Neck*

Starting at the front centre of the neck, pass the tape round the neck to meet at the front.

E: Inside leg (no shoes)*

Remove footwear. Start the tape on the inside of the leg where it joins the body and follow the leg until the tape meets the floor.

F: Across back, armhole to armhole*

Start on the left, on the shirt seam, at a level halfway between the shoulder and the underarm, then take the tape across to the equivalent point on the right.

G-B: Nape to waist front*

Start the tape at the top of the spine where you find a more pronounced bone, just before it becomes the neck. Run the tape forward and down the breast at the widest part of the chest, dropping the tape straight down from this widest chest point to waist level. Do NOT take the tape diagonally to the waist centre. Imagine it is where braces would sit.

G-H Nape to waist back*

Start from the same pronounced bone (as last question) and run the tape measure down the spine to the waist.

G-J: Nape to shoulder*

Wear a shirt of the correct size. Start from the same pronounced bone then measure out along the shoulder to the point where it meets the shirt seam.

G-J-K: Nape to elbow*

When taking this measurement, lift your arm upwards and bend your elbow. This gives a more accurate result. Start the tape at the nape as before. Run the tape along the shoulder and down the outside of the arm, finishing at the pointiest part of the elbow, before it curves back in to form the forearm.

G-J-K-L Nape to wrist*

With arm positioned as above, but continue the tape on past the elbow and to the point where the hand joins the arm, just below the wrist bone.

G-Q: Nape to ground (no shoes)*

Remove footwear. Start from the same pronounced bone at the top of the spine and drop the tape to the floor.

H-I: Body rise*

Start the tape in the middle of the back, at the waistline. Drop the tape to the floor then take the measurement where the inside leg joins the body. Do not curve the tape around the bottom.

H-Q: Waist to ground (no shoes)*

Remove footwear. Hold the tape measure at the waist on the side of the body. Run the tape down the outside of your leg to the floor.

H-S: Waist to knee*

Hold the tape on the waist on the side of the body. Measure down past the hip and thigh to the knee.

L: Wrist*

Take the tape 360° round the wrist bone.

M: Forearm*

Take the measurement 360° around the widest part of the forearm, just below the elbow. Do not tense your muscles. But don't forget the 2-finger rule (see the top of the page).

N: Upper arm*

Take the measurement 360° around the widest part of the upper arm, halfway between your elbow and your armpit. Tense your muscles for this measurement.

O: Thigh*

360° around widest part of the thigh. Do not tense.

P: Calf*

360° around widest part of the calf. Do not tense.

R: Ankle*

Measure 360° around the ankle bone.

S: Around knee*

Measure 360° around the knee.

Your normal collar size*

Supply the shirt collar size you normally wear. We will make allowance for the fact that singers' necks expand when singing so, when necessary, we will provide shirts larger than your norm.

Suit jacket size (indicate UK/EU/USA)*

Give the size you buy most regularly. Please err on the larger if you are between two sizes. It is easier to reduce a costume in size.
