Clothing measurements

Hip

The widest part of the hips and seat, measured around the body or across the garment.

As a body measurement, the hip is measured around the fullest part of the hips and bottom, keeping the tape level.

On a flat-lay size chart, hip width is measured straight across the garment at its widest point below the waist.
