Waist: Around the waist at the height where you wear your trousers.
Hips: Around the fullest part of the hips and bottom, standing with your feet together.
Inside leg: From the crotch down to the floor along the inside of the leg, without shoes.

Convert centimeter to inch

The measurements are a guide: every brand cuts a little differently, and where a brand publishes its own size chart, that is the one to follow.
