How do I take my measurements?
Accurate measurements help us make pants that fit beautifully. You’ll need measurements for waist, hip, inseam, and height.
If you have a soft measuring tape, great! If not, you can absolutely do this with string and a ruler.
Waist
Stand naturally—don’t suck in or tighten.
Find the spot where you like your pants to sit (this may be above or below your natural waist).
Wrap the tape or string snugly (not tight) around that spot.
If using string, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure with a ruler.
Hip
Stand with your feet together.
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
Make sure the tape/string stays level all the way around. (It’s helpful to have a second person help with this measurement)
Inseam
Measure from the top of your inner thigh (where pants usually start) down to where you want the hem to hit.
It helps to measure a favorite pair of pants laid flat from crotch seam to hem.
Height
Simply your full height, without shoes.
Tips:
Measure over lightweight clothing or underwear.
Double-check measurements if you’re unsure.
If something feels tricky, leave us a note in your order - we’re happy to help.
What if I don’t have a measuring tape?
No problem at all.
Use a non-stretch string, ribbon, or yarn:
Wrap it around the measurement area.
Mark or pinch where it overlaps.
Lay it flat and measure with a ruler or yardstick.
Convert to inches when entering your measurements.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Because each pair of pants is made to order just for you, we’re unable to accept returns or exchanges. Please take care when taking your measurements!
That said - we want you to love how your pants fit. If fit adjustments are needed, please contact us. Email hi.wrongside.studios@gmail.com for more information on how we can help.
What is your lead time?
All pants are made to order, and our current lead time is 4-6 weeks from the date your order is placed.
You may receive your pants sooner, but please plan for the full timeframe. We believe in slow, thoughtful making - and that takes a little time.

Yes!
