# data[].attributes.body
Important occasions or interviews are occasions when we must choose simple, polite outfits. Here is the outfit I chose for the interview. My body is large so I think I should not choose pleater and plared skirts and some loose dresses. The color should not be too light and the material should not have horizontal stripes, because this kind of material can make you look bigger. So I chose a dark blue, old-fashioned shirt with a pocket on the left side. A pair of ash-gray baggy pants, a belt. Along with that is a pair of high heels and a handbag. I think that outfit is smart for an interview.

Do you know how to measure an item of clothing? Next, I will show you how to measure a shirt. To measure a shirt, we will measure: collar band , back shoulder length, waistline , shirt length and sleeve length from shoulder. First, measure your collar band , you should measure around your neck. Second, when measuring with the shoulder, you need to measure in horizontal direction instead of in vertical direction. Next, measure your chest circumference by measuring the fullest part of your chest, which helps you get accurate measurements. Then measure your waist, measure around the center of your body. Fifth, measure from the neck to the hem to get the shirt length measurement. Finally, measure from shoulder top to wrist. Those are all the measurements I use when measuring shirts. I think measuring shirt length is the most difficult, because it depends on each person's preference: long or short. That is all.
