So you're going out shopping with your friends, but you don't want to spend too much time trying on clothes! This article is to help you determine your clothing size. .Not to say you are a size ten when you are a size six and vice versa.It is good to know your size for it will be easier to shop.One does not have to keep on trying everything all the time.
Many of my customers apparently do not know the size of clothes they way.So this piece is basically to help all of y'all ladies to identify your clothes size.

I love this dress because of the lace detail in the upper part and the plitted lower part.The difference and beauty just amaizes me.
Personally I am a size 12.How did i know this?It is not that complex.You can decide to use the complex way or you can try the complicated way.So i will share both the complex and the easy way.For me the first step was just looking at the size tag on most of my clothes.Most of my trousers are a size 32/12 and my dresses the same size 12.Sizes vary from country to country but like in Kenya if you find you wear one size most of the time that is it.There are times i find myself wearing a size 10 but mostly i range form there .So if you want to start here is a great beginning for you.
For the complex option you can do measurements.You measure yourself first, using dressmakers tape (a thin plastic measuring tape that can be wrapped around the body).
- Bust- This is your chest area (breasts), to measure wrap the tape around your body, make sure the tape goes over your nipple, not under or above.
- Waist- Your waist is near your stomach, to measure place the tape right beneath your belly-button. Don't suck your breath in- it wont help later.
- Hip- When measuring your hip, don't measure the widest part of your body (near the buttocks), but measure your hip so that the measuring tape touches your hip bone, on both sides.
For many it may not be so automatic because people have different sizes.Some have the hour
glass shape(the famous size eight as we like to call it)where one is proportional both on both the upper and lower part of the body,the pear shape(this is the one where one is bigger on the upper part of the body and smaller on the lower part of the body,the coke shape(made this up)where the lower part is bigger than the upper part of the body.
All this body shapes require different dressing and it is good to know how to.Because you can wear a top size 8 and a trouser size 12.Its possible so there is need to understand your body shape and treat it well by dressing it right.
Different materials also demand different approaches.For material that do not expand like chiffon,you have to get it right.Get a smaller size of a top in this ,aterial and it wont fit.Stretch materials on the other hand,one can compromise.Like the drees above is a size 10 but i was able to compromise since its a stretch.But is it was a size ten chiffon it would not have fit.Just to talk a little bit more about chiffon if you have ever noticed most of the tops and dresses that are chiffon are loosely fitted.This is because if you were to wear a tightly fitted chiffon for your size,like for example i am a size 12 then i want to wear a size 10,i would not be able to move :D literally.This is because of the material whose design is to fall loosely on the body and fit classily.There are exceptions...in cases where the inner lacing is of a stretchable material. I will do a better feature of this later on .
