I don't have the patience to measure anything but waist and hips--and that I do only rarely. Instead, I use the "stuff I own" measuring system. I keep trying on this same pair of size 10 jeans (first you can't get them past your hips, then you can, eventually you can zip them, and eventually they actually fit!)...or I notice how much looser my khaki slacks are every time I put them on...or I notice how far down my arm my watch falls now! (Nat's right about that--you DO lose in the wrist!) The other day I put on an old sweatshirt and thought, "wow, this is big"--so measured how much too big at the bust: 12 inches! It was never super-tight, but I may well have lost 10 there, a happy thought. I like finding those little surprises--clothes than now hang on me, or old clothes I can get zipped.
So Nat's is the more accurate method--mine is the lazy measurer's method.
