For adult bottoms, we measure from the actual garment, not the body — because pants are fussy little gremlins and fit depends on style, stretch, rise, and how you like things to sit.
The best way to choose your size is to grab a pair you already love, lay them flat, and compare.
Waist Width
Measure straight across the waistband.
Hip Width
Measure across the widest part of the hips.
Full Rise
Measure from the top of the back waistband, down through the crotch, and up to the top of the front waistband.
Inseam
Measure from the crotch seam down to the hem.
For inseam, looser-fitting pants usually feel better with a little extra length, while leggings-style fits often work best slightly shorter. We can customize inseam length upon request at no added cost.
Adult bottoms are some of the trickiest garments we offer to fit, so don’t do it alone. We offer free virtual fittings to make sure you feel supported, confident, and not abandoned in Pants Math™.
