How to measure

1. Chest Measurement
First, measure the chest of the athlete while their arms are down at their sides. Be sure to take the measurement at the fullest part of the chest. The measuring tape should always be parallel to the floor.

2. Waist Measurement
When measuring the waist, wrap the tape at the natural waistline, which is the narrowest part of the waist. If you are having trouble locating the natural waist, have athlete bend to the side. The natural waist is where the body bends. Again, the measuring tape should always be parallel to the floor while taking the measurements.

3. Hip Measurement
Take the hip measurement at the fullest part of the buttocks with the athletes feet together. Ensure that the tape measure is parallel to the floor.

4. Torso Measurement
Take the torso measurement from the center of the shoulder, down the torso, through the legs, and back to the shoulder. This is the most important measurement you will take when measuring athletes for leotards.

5. Inseam Measurement
Take the leg and seam measurement by running the tape from the crotch to 1 inch above the floor. Measure the athlete without shoes.
