How to Measure Yourself for Clothing Sizes
Use fresh body measurements before choosing a brand size. mezu compares those measurements with published size-chart rows, so a careful tape-measure check gives a better starting point than an old label.
mezu covers tops and bottoms for Zara, H&M, Mango, and Uniqlo in the current live pair set; it does not cover shoes or dresses.
Before You Start
- Use a soft measuring tape and keep it level around the body.
- Measure over close-fitting clothing, not bulky layers.
- Stand naturally and do not pull the tape tight enough to compress the body.
- Measure twice if the number will decide between two neighboring sizes.
Measurements mezu Uses
Bust or Chest
Measure around the fullest part of the bust or chest, keeping the tape level across the back. This is the primary input for most tops.
Waist
Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest point above the hips. This is the primary input for bottoms and a secondary input for many tops.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips while standing with feet close together. This helps with women's bottoms and some tops charts.
Inseam
Measure from the crotch seam to the ankle point where you want trousers to finish. mezu does not convert length labels yet, but inseam helps when a retailer lists garment length guidance.
How to Use the Number
Open a brand size hub, choose the category, and compare your measurement with the closest chart row. If you sit between two rows, check both neighboring sizes and the garment's cut before ordering.
The converter and finder use published body measurements in centimeters. A result is a starting estimate, not a guarantee that every garment in that brand will fit the same.
