The measurements we provide in the "Sizing & Fit" section of each product page are taken flat across the garment. That means the number we give doesn't include stretch of the garment, and it doesn't correspond directly with circumference. We give measurements taken flat across the front because they are the least misleading. To find out if something will fit you, measure a garment that already fits you well, and measure it flat across the front. Then compare the number you get with the number we gave. Measuring your body directly might give you misleading measurements.
So for skirts or dresses, measure a skirt or dress. Same for tops, jackets, etc.

Bust / Chest -Measure from just under the armpit to the armpit on the other side.
Waist -This refers to the natural waist: the thinnest part of your mid-section. So for a dress, the thinnest part is the waistband area. For pants or skirts, this refers to the top of the garment.
Hip - Measure the widest part of a skirt or pants, below the waistband.
Length -For tops and dresses, measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the garment. For pants and skirts, this is the measurement from the waist to the bottom.
Inseam -This is a measurement for pants, and refers to the length from crotch to bottom of pant leg.
