Sizing Fit & Medical Consideration Guides
Sizing, Fit & Medical Consideration Guides
Comfort • Dignity • Independence
Finding the right fit is essential for daily comfort, mobility, and safe dressing. Our Sizing & Medical Fit Guide is designed for Seniors, Veterans, caregivers, and rehabilitation teams who want clothing that supports independence with ease and dignity.
1. How to Measure (Senior- & Caregiver-Friendly Method)
Measure With Confidence — Or With a Caregiver
For the most accurate sizing, use a soft measuring tape. If mobility is limited, we recommend measuring with a caregiver or family member.
Basic Measurements Needed
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part
Waist: Measure around natural waistline
Hips: Measure around the widest area
Inseam / Seated Inseam:
Standing users: Measure from inner thigh to ankle
Wheelchair or seated users: Measure from hip crease to the footrest
Arm Length: Shoulder to wrist
Shoulder Width: From shoulder bone to shoulder bone
Caregiver Tip
Use the “two-finger rule” — clothing should allow two fingers between the body and fabric for comfortable mobility.
