How to measure women's pants size?

The right way to measure women's pants is to use a cloth tape measure that is a bit longer than the width of your hips (or a bit longer than the widest part of your hips, usually halfway between the hipbones). Measure around your waist at the place where the elasticized waistband of your pants usually sits. If you are having trouble getting a good reading, try holding the tape measure in front of you with both hands, with one hand on each end.
