How to Measure for Your Nursing Uniform

4. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline, which is typically about an inch above your belly button.
5. Shoulder Width: Measure from one shoulder to the other across the back.

Pants Measurements:

1. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
2. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to your ankle.
3. Rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of your waistband.

Tips:

• If you're between sizes, it's usually best to size up for a more comfortable fit.
• Refer to the specific brand's size chart for their recommended measurements.
• If you're unsure, consider consulting a tailor or a professional fitter for assistance.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your shirts and pants fit you perfectly.
