How to Measure the Outside Leg

OK, so after you're done with the center and the back front measurements, you're going to move on to the legs. We're going to just systematically move down. And, it depends, do you want your pants to start up here, or do you want your pants to be hip waist. So, we're going to do the outside leg which is the opposite measurement for the inseam. And I'm going to just, because I'm wearing high-waisted shorts today, I'm going to keep it high-waisted. So I'm going to start here and again moving down to the floor; to where you'd want your pants to hit. Maybe you're going to be wearing flat shoes, so you take your shoe off, maybe not; maybe you're going to be wearing heels. Maybe you're going to want it to be that measurement with heels. So, I took mine with my heels and I have 46, and that is my out-seam measurement. So, I'm going to write that down.
