How to take measurements for a wetsuit?

Comment bien prendre ses mesures pour une combinaison ?

Introduction

A well-fitting jumpsuit is essential for comfort and freedom of movement, whether you're playing sports, dancing at your favorite festival, or simply looking your best in a unique outfit. To find a jumpsuit that perfectly fits your body shape, it's crucial to take your measurements accurately. Follow this step-by-step guide to correctly measure your body and choose the perfect size.

1. Prepare properly before taking your measurements

Before you begin, here are some tips for getting accurate measurements:

  • Wear fitted clothing or stay in your underwear to prevent extra layers from altering the measurements.
  • Use a flexible tape measure , ideal for following the curves of the body.
  • Ask for help if possible : it is sometimes difficult to measure yourself alone, especially for certain areas.
  • Stand up straight and breathe normally, without sucking in your stomach.

2. Essential measurements for a suit

To choose a suit that fits your body perfectly, focus on these key measurements:

a. Bust circumference

  • Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, passing under your arms.
  • Make sure the tape measure is horizontal and not too tight.

b. Waist size

  • Identify your natural waistline: This is usually the narrowest part of your abdomen, just above your belly button.

  • Place the tape measure loosely to maintain a comfortable measurement.

c. Hip circumference

  • Measure the widest part of your hips and buttocks.
  • Again, make sure the tape measure is horizontal.

d. Height

  • Stand up straight against a wall, without pulling in your stomach.
  • Start at the top of your head and move the tape measure down to your heels.

e. Inseam length

  • For a full body suit or ankle-length outfit, measure from the inside of your leg to the ankle (malleolus).
  • If the suit stops above the knees, measure down to that point.

3. Tips for a perfect fit

  • Make adjustments according to your needs : If you are between two sizes, choose the one that best fits your hip measurement.
  • Consider the material : Stretchy fabrics, like those used by UJO , offer more flexibility. If the fabric is very elastic, like our velvet, you may want to choose a slightly smaller size for a closer fit.
  • Check the size guide : Each brand has its own standards. Always consult the size chart provided on the website to compare your measurements.

4. Why a well-fitting suit makes all the difference

An ill-fitting suit can restrict your movement (e.g., falling straps) or create unsightly creases. On the other hand, a well-fitting outfit enhances your figure, gives you complete freedom, and allows you to focus on your activities, whether sports or leisure.
