C6 Waist circumference - elasticated/relaxed
Measure across the garment from side to side
at the centre of the elastic (with the elastic
relaxed) and double the measurement
C7 Waist circumference - elasticated/stretched flat
Measure across the garment at the centre of
the elastic, pulling the garment out so that the
fabric is flat, and double the measurement.
C8 Waist circumference - elasticated/stretched extreme
Measure across the garment at the centre of
the elastic, pulling the garment out so that the

stretch out enough to fit over the hips.
The stitching must sustain this stretching
without cracking.
