Measurements are performed by means of centimetric tape on the most acting points of buttocks. Do not repeat errors of those who measure grasp of hips in the area of riding breeches or the acting stones.
2. If you have the acting stomach, execute measurements taking into account its ledge. For this purpose use the flexible plate attached to stomach and which is going down to hips. It is especially important to consider ledge of stomach if you are going to buy or order conjoint suit.

In 1 inch 2.54 cm find room. Also use the following table on transfer of centimeters to inches: 1 mm = 0.0397 dyuyma1 in cm = 0.397 dyuyma1 in m = 39.37 dyuyman the letter inches are designated by apostrophe: 0.0397’; 39.37’, etc.
5. When it is necessary to make measurements of grasp of hips, and the centimetric tape near at hand is absent, perform measurement by any tape or rope.
