Wear fitted clothing or use a soft measuring tape over bare skin
Stand with feet together, weight evenly distributed, and relax your hips
Measure the fullest part of the hips (around the widest area of the buttocks)
Keep the tape level and parallel to the floor
Ensure the tape is snug but not compressing the skin
Record the measurement in inches or centimeters
If you’re measuring for clothing fit, also measure the hip-to-waist distance from your natural waist to the fullest hip point
