The Waist to Floor Measurement

​

The waist to floor (or waist to desired length) measurement is used to set the length of skirts and trousers and is taken at the side of the body.

​

Find your natural waist and hold the tape measure here. Run the tape over your hip and down the outside of your leg to the floor (or desired length). Make sure your feet are together and get someone to read measurement.

​

Alternatively, place your foot on the tape measure and let go at the top. Without moving your foot, bend down and take the measurement where you foot is touching the tape.
