How to measure a garment

When you are buying secondhand, the size on the label matters less than the actual measurements. Sizing drifts between brands, between eras, and after years of washing. The most reliable way to know if something will fit is to measure a piece you already own and love, then compare it to the listing. Sellers should measure every item flat and include the numbers in the description.

Whatever you're measuring — a top, a pair of bottoms, a dress or a pair of shoes — the same three steps apply:

  1. Lay the item flat on a hard surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
  2. Measure straight across (never around a curve), in centimetres.
  3. For circumference measurements — bust, waist, hip — double the flat measurement to get the full circumference.
MeasurementHow to take it
Bust / chestMeasure straight across from one underarm seam to the other, then double it for the full circumference.
WaistMeasure straight across the narrowest point, or along the waistband, then double it.
HipsMeasure straight across the widest point of the lower half, then double it.
Length (tops and dresses)Measure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
Length (bottoms)Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside leg to the hem.
RiseMeasure from the top of the waistband straight down to the crotch seam.
InseamMeasure from the crotch seam straight down to the bottom of the leg.
SleeveMeasure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
ShoulderMeasure from one shoulder seam straight across the back to the other.
Foot length (insole)Place the shoe on paper, trace around the sole, then measure heel to toe in a straight line.

These diagrams show where each measurement is taken on a garment or shoe laid flat.

Shoes — place the shoe on a flat surface or a sheet of paper, trace around the sole, then measure heel to toe in a straight line.

A quick tip: keep a tape measure where you store your clothes. Measuring the item you reach for most often gives you a personal benchmark to match against any listing, which is far more accurate than guessing from a size label.

Condition guide

Secondhand condition is described on a simple scale. Knowing what each grade means helps buyers set expectations and helps sellers price honestly. On Bushpop, an accurate condition note and clear photos of any flaws are the best protection for both sides of a sale.

ConditionWhat it means
New with tagsUnworn, with the original retail tags still attached.
New without tagsUnworn and as-new, but the tags have been removed.
ExcellentWorn only a handful of times, with no visible flaws.
Very goodLight, even wear from occasional use, no notable faults.
GoodVisible wear consistent with regular use; any flaws are clearly disclosed.
FairWell-loved, with significant wear or a disclosed flaw, priced to reflect it.

Whatever the grade, the golden rule is the same: describe condition honestly and photograph any flaws up close. For a full walk-through of listing, pricing and photographing your items, see the complete guide to selling on Bushpop.
