Here's how to take your measurements
Sizing Guide
To choose the right size, we recommend taking your measurements with a flexible tape measure. Maintain a natural posture, without pulling the tape too tight. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size for more comfort.
This guide applies to Q:tee women's clothing, Côte Mer men's clothing, as well as children's/boys' clothing depending on the available models.
How to take your measurements correctly?
Measurements for Women
Bust Measurement
Place the tape measure under your arms, at the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape horizontal and not too tight.
Waist Measurement
Measure your waist at the narrowest part, usually between your ribs and hips.
Hip Measurement
Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.

For a dress or skirt, measure from the shoulder or waist depending on the style. For pants, measure from the waist to the bottom of the leg.
