Basic Definition

1. To measure your natural waist you will need a cloth measuring tape and a mirror. In order to find your natural waist bend forward. The crease that forms (above your belly button but below your ribcage) is your natural waist. Do not measure over clothing, this will give you an inaccurate number

2. Relax your stomach muscles and, with the tape measure at 0, start measuring directly above your belly button and around your waist. Make sure the tape is neither too loose or too tight, you want to get the actual size of your waist.

3. When the tape measure wraps back around write down the number that overlaps 0 - that is your natural waist measurement.

HOWEVER indiDenim’s natural waist measurement (because of the mathematics of our fit algorithim) is actually measured at the belly button then around.
