Instruction
1
Remove the clothes that they do not create extra volume. Should not be measured in spanx or tights, otherwise you will get distorted results.
2
Find your natural waist level. It is located between the lowest point of the ribs and the uppermost bone of the hip joint. The waist is fairly easy to determine by putting your hands on your hips. The correct volume is measured at the narrowest point of the figure, if you look at yourself directly. In people whose weight is close to normal, the waist is at the navel. People who are overweight can find it at the level of the elbows, straighten the arms along the body.
3
Wrap the measuring tape around your waist. During the measurement, hold the inch strictly parallel to the floor.
4
Stand up, relax your belly, breathe out, do not strain the press and do not bend. Do not tighten centimeter of your stomach, but don't loosen the ribbon to SAG. It should fit snugly to your waist. Make metering.
5
Remove the centimeter and record your results.
Note
If a man has a waist circumference more than 102 cm and in women more than 89 cm should take care of their health. The amount of fat in the abdominal cavity exceeds the permissible limits.
The exact size of clothes by measuring only the waist is difficult to determine. In the standard tables of clothing this value is considered conditional. For example, the size 46 fits waist size from 67 to 71 cm, hips 96-100. But hip or waist can be much wider than an averaged parameters. Then the 46 size will be just small or big for you.

Useful advice
If there is no cm at hand, the waist you can measure with an ordinary rope or thick thread. Wrap the rope around your waist, make a mark with a pen or cut. Folded it several times and measure with a ruler, then multiply the result by the number of plies of rope.
