How to measure hips waist bust?
Here is how to measure hips waist bust. First, hoist your trousers up a little. Find a mark on the front of the trousers where the belt would normally be.

Make a mark at this point. Finally, connect the two marks to get the circumference of your hips.
How to calculate hips to waist ratio?
To calculate your waist to-hip ratio, first, find the circumference of your waist at its narrowest point (usually where you measure your belly button).
