How to Measure
All Raine waist beads are traditional tie-on styles that do not stretch. Each set comes in a 45-inch length, which generally accommodates U.S. pants sizes 0-18. This is only an estimate; for the best fit, we recommend measuring your waist to ensure accurate sizing.
To measure for traditional tie-on waist beads that do not stretch, stand up straight and wrap a flexible measuring tape or string around the part of your torso where you want the beads to sit, such as high on the waist, around the navel, or lower on the hips.
Ensure the tape or string is snug but not tight, allowing for natural movement. If using a string, mark where it meets and measure the length with a ruler.
Record this measurement, ensuring accuracy by measuring twice if necessary. Consider adding an extra inch for a looser fit or use the exact measurement for a more secure fit.
