Determine the measurement of your waist by wrapping a measuring tape around the area directly above your belly button and below your ribcage. Make sure that your abdomen is relaxed, and do not wrap the measuring tape tightly around your waist---just naturally. The point where the tape meets "0" is your waist measurement.

2
Round your waist measurement up to an even number, and order one size up from that. For instance, if your waist measures 36 inches, you would need to order a size 38 garter belt. Always purchase one size up to ensure that the garter belt will fit comfortably and not too tightly, since garter belts are tight and stretchy anyway.

Tips & Warnings
Measure your waist against bare skin rather than over clothing because this will give you the most accurate measurement.
Always order one size up when ordering any plus size lingerie, especially garter belts, whether the sizes are offered in measurements (36-, 38-, 40-inch, etc.) or standard sizes (1X, 2X, 3X, etc.).
