Want the perfect fitting sling? Just follow these easy instructions to get your shoulder to hip measurement:
1 - Place a soft measuring tape at the outside edge of your shoulder in the middle (where your shirt seam is). Do I really have to measure myself with a measuring tape? Yep!
2 - Then loosely drape the tape measure across your body down to the top of your opposite hip bone near your side.
3 - Give it some slack so that the tape measure is loose across your body and not pulled tight.
4 - See where your measurement is on our sizing chart. Your size should be similar to your fitted t-shirt size, depending on your torso length.
ARE YOU PREGNANT AND SHOWING? Then follow these instructions to get your accurate measurement:
1 - Have someone else place a soft measuring tape at the outside edge of your shoulder in the middle (where your shirt seam is). It will not be accurate if you try to do the measurement yourself.
2 - Have them pull the tape measure tight and come down across your back and around to your opposite hip bone. Make sure they come to the top of your opposite hip bone in the back but close to the side of your body as shown. The top of your hip bone is basically where you'd place your hand if you were sassin' your mama. The side to measure to is where the outside seam of your pant leg is.
3 - Then look to see where you fall on the sizing chart above. This size of sling you order should be similar to your fitted t-shirt size when not pregnant.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SIZING:
Most women wear the same size sling as they do a fitted t-shirt. Its not an exact way to pick a size but its a great place to start.
The slings will shrink approximately 1 inch when washed and dried on medium high heat. We have already taken this into consideration and have sized up the slings slightly to account for this. If you order a size up because you're worried about the shrinkage, it may be too big and exchanging can be a hassle.
