How to measure your body before buying Medical Uniform?

Bust Line: The bust line position is a line that is level with the floor and crosses over the bust points. The bust point indicates the fullest part of the bust which is what needs to be addressed for a good fit. The bust position can be different for everyone. Younger and smaller busts tend to be higher on the body; while more mature and fuller busts tend to sit lower on the body, but this is not always the case since we are all unique. A general rule of thumb is a bust position of about 10 1/2 inches from the "high shoulder point" for a size 8, and a 1/4-inch difference for each size above and below.
Waist Line: The waistline position is a line that is level with the floor and crosses the narrowest part of the torso. This position dramatically varies as well. A waist position from the CB neckbone of 16 1/4" is relatively standard in the fashion industry for a size 8 with about a 3/8" difference for each size above and below.
Hip Line; position is a line that is level with the floor and crosses over the most whole and widest part of the buttock. The position of this line also varies for everyone, but 8 inches down from the waistline is relatively standard. There is usually a variance of 1/4 inch from waist to hip for each size above and below a size 8.
The hip Line not to be overlooked is the "high hip" position, which is a line level with the floor and divides the distance between the waistline and the hip line. The high hip line position can then be said to be 4 inches down from the waistline, with a 1/8-inch difference for each size above and below a size 8. This position is essential because it varies significantly from one body to another and indicates the shape or silhouette of the area between the waist and the hip. To understand how variable this point can be, conduct a Google search on personal coquis, and you will know what I mean.
Ankle; circumference of ankle.
Arm length: from the end of your shoulder to your wrist bone with the arm slightly bent (loose).
Around the armpit: the circumference of the armpit.
Bicep: circumference at bicep level.
Chest/Bust: The circumference of the most expansive area (the fullest part) of your bust. Measure across the chest/breast and around the back. The total circumference of the chest at the most significant point. Measure under the armpit across the breast with arms relaxed. Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor. Typically, place the tape 1 inch under the arms and across the shoulder blades, holding it firm and level.
Head: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around your head, approximately one inch above the eyebrows and ears.
Hips (Seat): The circumference of the most expansive area of your hips, also referred to as the entire hip region. Keep your legs slightly apart.
Inseam; while standing in a relaxed position, measure the total length of the inside of your leg, from crotch to ankle. Measure from the bottom of the crotch seam to the bottom of the hem along the inside seam. “OR” Stand with both feet flat on the ground with legs straight and slightly apart, and straighten the tape down the inside of the leg to the top of the shoe.
Neck to shoulder: The length from the base of your neck to the end of your shoulder.
Neck: circumference of your neck at the base of your throat.
Shoulder to Shoulder; from the end of one shoulder reaching the end of the other shoulder take from the backside.
Shoulder to Waist: length from the end of the shoulder, straight down to waist level.
The sleeve is slightly bent and relaxed on the arm side when taking measurements. Begin at the neck bone. Measure over shoulder and elbow points. Finish at the wrist bone. OR Measure from the nape of the neck to the elbow point and then to the wrist. “OR” Measure from the bottom center back of the neck, down the arm across the elbow to the far end of the wrist bone.
Top Arm length: from the end of your shoulder to your elbow.
Waist to Ankle Bone: The length from the waist level to the ankle bone.
Waist: circumference of the natural waistline. While standing in a relaxed position, measure around your natural waistline while keeping the tape measure parallel to the floor. Bend to one side to the natural crease of your waist and measure across this point.
Note:
For accurate measurements, pull the measuring tape snugly against your body and avoid stretching it.
If the stomach is larger than the chest or bust, use the larger of the two measurements. Keep arms to their sides as much as possible, as it will affect the measurement if they are raised too high.
If the tape can’t be moved up and down, it is not around the fullest part.
