It's a silly question but as your typical pear-shaped lady-girl-person: Where do i measure my waist and hips? I feel like every week i get it on different levels. Is it just widest vs thinnest points of torso?

    This is what I use I am not sure if it what exactly you're suppose to use but being a pear shape myself I find it helps.
    Measurements:

    Bust: Measure all the way around your bust and back on the line of your nipples.
    Chest: Measure directly under your breasts, as high up as possible.
    Waist: Measure at its narrowest point width-wise, usually just above the navel.
    Hips: Measure around the widest part of the hipbones.
    Midway: Measure midway between the widest part of your hips and your waist.
    Thighs: Measure around fullest part of upper leg while standing
    Knees: Measure immediately above the knee.
    Calves: Measure around fullest part.
    Upper arm: Measure above your elbows – around fullest part.
    Forearms: Measure below your elbows – around fullest part.

    Waist is between your hips and your ribcage. Find the iliac(sp) crest, set the tape approx. 1 finger above the crest.

    I've decided I need to cut down on my hips but don't have a way to measure my waist or hips. Can anyone guess?2v5ef2qll99t.png
