Product Measurement FAQ's

Below you will see how Pink Polka-Dot Monkey measures clothing.

NOT all clothing is measured. But if it does state measurements, you can be sure how it is measured below.

Note: Measurements are NOT exact, I am only human, but if they are off, it will only be by a few cm.

Please note that this is not the same as your body's natural waist measurement (where the measurement is generally taken higher up).
