ok..i was told and read that your waist measurement is a few inches above ur belly button where your sides come in..your smallest part.

and that hips are your widest part- usually right below your butt-more thigh area..which i found odd...but thats what i always logged it in on here...


i just read other sites that say u measure your hip at your hip bone. an dthats your measurement...

can somone clarify where the hell i should be taking my measurements

I usualy measure around my hip bone for hips, and right above or on my belly button for waist. My mom sews clothes and when she used to make them for me thats where she measured to fit me for whatever she was making.

Long ago I just picked my "places" for measuring. I measure my waist at its most thin point and I measure my hips on my "panties" line. I say pick a place and stick to it!

Hips: Measure at the very biggest part -- even if that is so low that you are almost on the top of your thighs.


- thats what i do. its right below my butt. so confused.

As Black_Swan said, so long as you know where you're measuring and do the same every time, don't worry too much.
I do waist - thinnest point, hips - widest point, abdomen - just below belly button, thighs - widest point and bust - widest point.
