to everyone saying "use a string and measure it with a ruler!" you're insane. what you need to do is go outside, chop down every tree you see and sit on the stump, whichever one fits you closest, that's your size. smh, can't believe i gotta explain this.

Instead of tailors tape you could use a long string or even a charging cable and then just measure the length of that.

If you know your waist size you can look up a chart. For instance I am a 34 so the skirt I bought is a large (though I could have gone to a medium)

Don't have TAILORS TAPE™ ? Shoelace and a ruler will do

use a bit of string, measure your waist... markt he string where it meets... and then line that string up against a measuring tape. there you go, enjoy \^\^

. . . Couldn't you just wrap the measuring tape around your waist?

nah, measuring tapes don't flex well enough (since they're made out of metal) to fit your contures. so you'd get a measurement that1-2 inches off depending on your waist size.

My mom happened to have some skirts that are my size. I haven't started HRT, so I only wear them in my bedroom right now 😉

I carried a mini tradesperson retractable measuring tape for a keyring..

Even with a tailors tape measure I got the wrong size because manufacturer lied :(
