(Tie a string around your waist (or even better- a piece of narrow elastic) to help in being sure where your waist is in the back. Even professionals use a string to ascertain this; they don't guess. So please take your time- getting this measurement correct makes a big difference in quality of fit. You cannot physically do this measurement by yourself- you need a helper. Be sure you are standing straight and normally.)
