Latex Clothing Size & Measuring Guide
Welcome to the Westward Bound Latex Clothing Size & Measuring Guide. Whether you choose our recommended Bespoke service or a Standard Size, taking accurate measurements is the first step towards achieving the best possible fit. This guide includes standard size charts, international size conversions and illustrated measuring guides for both women and men.
How to Measure for Latex Clothing
Latex naturally stretches, but Westward Bound sizing already allows for the close fit associated with the material. Avoid ordering a smaller size in an attempt to achieve a closer fit.
Accurate body measurements are essential. Use a flexible fabric tape measure and take each measurement close to the body without pulling the tape tightly against the skin. You may find it easier to ask someone to help you or have your measurements professionally taken by a tailor or dressmaker.
Standard Size or Bespoke: Choose Your Fit
All Westward Bound Made-For-You garments are individually produced to order. You can choose between a Standard Size or our recommended Tailored for You – Bespoke service.
Standard Size
Your garment is custom-made using your selected Westward Bound standard-size specification.
Refer to the Standard Size Chart below and select the size closest to your individual body measurements. For example: UK 14 / US 12 / EU 42.
Westward Bound Standard Sizes are based on body measurements rather than the dimensions of the finished garment. The natural stretch of latex and the intended close fit are already considered within our pattern cutting and garment construction.
Tailored for You – Bespoke – Recommended
For our Tailored for You – Bespoke service, we individually pattern-cut and make your garment using the personal measurements you provide. This allows the garment to be created specifically for your individual proportions and offers the most precise approach to achieving an optimum fit.
Please refer to the illustrated How to Measure Yourself guides below. These explain the exact measuring points required, with numbered measuring points corresponding directly to the measurement requirements shown within the drop-down options on individual garment pages.
Every Westward Bound latex garment is individually pattern-cut and handcrafted at our workshop in Plymouth, Devon, England.

Measure from the side of the neck to the end of the shoulder, from point 3A to point 3B.
4. Over Bust (Circumference)
Measure around the upper chest, above the fullest part of the bust and directly beneath the armpits. Keep the tape snug against the body without pulling it tightly.
5. Bust (Circumference)
Measure around the fullest part of the bust. For the most accurate measurement, wear a non-padded bra and ensure the tape passes beneath the arms and across the shoulder blades.

Measure around the torso directly beneath the bust, keeping the tape level and comfortably close to the body.
7. Bra Underwire Cup
Cup sizes vary internationally. When this measurement is requested, refer to the Bra Cup Size – Global Comparison Chart below and select the appropriate equivalent. Westward Bound uses UK bra sizing as the default when placing an order.

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waistline, above the navel and below the ribcage.

Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. This point is normally approximately 20 cm (8 inches) below your natural waistline.
