Measure yourself for a well-fitting shirt.
Ordering shirts online has one significant disadvantage: It can be hard to find your correct size. If you've ordered the wrong size, you may find yourself returning it, giving it away, or paying extra for tailoring. As shirt sizing varies from company to company, it's best not to rely upon the shirt size you typically wear. The chances of being able to wear your new shirt once you've received it will increase if you take some time to measure yourself in advance.
Instructions
1. Measure your neck, arms, and waist if you are a man. Use a tape measure to measure the circumference of your neck. Keeping your arm at your side, measure from the back of your neck down your shoulder and arm to your wrist. Measure the circumference of your waist. Take note of the measurements.
2. Measure your bust size, if you are a woman. Use a tape measure to measure around the fullest part of your bust. Take note of the measurement.
3. Consult the shirt sizing chart of the company you are ordering from. Using the measurements you have just taken, match them as closely as possible with those listed on the chart.
