1. What is the Size Calculation?

The clothing size calculation estimates your clothing size based on three key body measurements: bust, waist, and hips. This provides a more accurate assessment of your clothing size than standard sizing charts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Bust — Measurement around the fullest part of your bust (cm)
• Waist — Measurement around the narrowest part of your waist (cm)
• Hips — Measurement around the fullest part of your hips (cm)

Explanation: The equation calculates an average of your three main body measurements to determine your clothing size.

3. Importance of Accurate Measurements

Details: Taking precise body measurements is crucial for finding clothing that fits properly. Ill-fitting clothes can be uncomfortable and unflattering.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure your bust, waist, and hips in centimeters. Use a flexible tape measure and ensure it's parallel to the floor. All values must be valid (greater than 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q4: Should I measure with clothes on or off?
