HipBreadth
How to measure
Application
Used in seating width design, clothing hip sizing, and access design to ensure adequate lateral space for standing users.
Posture
Stand upright with weight evenly distributed.
Landmark
Measured at the widest point of the hips, which may be below the hip bone itself.
Tool
Tape measure.
Clothing
Remove bulky layers around the hips.
Common mistake
Measuring at the waist rather than the widest point of the hips gives a narrower and incorrect result.
