These are body measurements, not garment measurements. Measure yourself rather than a garment you already own.
How to measure
Chest. Under the arms, around the fullest part of the chest, with the tape level and the arms down.
Waist. Around the natural waist, at the narrowest point, without pulling the tape tight.
If you fall between two sizes, the fit note for the piece below will tell you which way to go.
