What are relaxed and extended waist measurements?Updated 16 days ago
Relaxed and extended size measurements are used when an item has an elasticated waist. We know how important comfort is to our customers, so we often add elastic to the back of our trouser waistbands or shirred elastic panels to our dresses.
The relaxed measurement is the measurement from side seam to side seam when the garment is laid flat. The extended measurement is the measurement from side seam to side seam when the garment is stretched out, or being worn.
