Getting Your Measurements
Chest measurements
To find the right size blazer, measure around the fullest part of the chest in inches, ideally without too many layers of clothing on. Use a soft tape measure, keeping it level and snug but not too tight. The blazer size corresponds to this chest measurement, so if the chest measures 30 inches, choose a size 30 blazer. If in between sizes, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

Measuring for skirts
Some skirts, depending on style, are made to fit on the hips, whereas others are made to fit on the waist. For either style, they should be measured for in the same way. You’ll need two measurements, the waist and the length. To find the right size, measure around the natural waist in inches, normally the narrowest part of their torso. This is normally higher than where the skirt will sit.
Wrap the tape around, keeping the tape snug but comfortable. Next, you should measure the length of the skirt from the top of the skirt to the desired length.
Measuring for trousers
To find the right size school trousers, measure around the natural waist in inches, normally the narrowest part of their torso. Wrap the tape around, keeping the tape snug but comfortable. The waist measurement determines the trouser size and you don’t need to add anything extra for growing room.
Next, measure the inside leg from the top of the inner thigh down to the ankle bone for the correct length.
