    I think it’s even worse when you measure right and you find out you got 3+ inches of unwanted hip growth. At least I have an adonis belt now.

        Yeah works great if your body moves like a stiff action figure

        the movement you need to get your shoulders out of the way can rotate your hips forwards/backwards and also move them for balance reasons, theres a reason why every body measurement study starts every measurement description with “taken standing straight”

          does that underestimate or overestimate hip breadth? how would you measure without calipers then?

            get a friend

            and idk probably depends on how youre standing, its not like i have experience being horribly unscientific with my measuring 💅

              i mean i figured without calipers there’s always gonna be some error but i didn’t know hip rotation makes that big of a difference.

                i mean it depends on the person how much difference there will be, but sliding door is already iffy and introducing even more inconsistency is just a bad idea imo

                better to do a photo with a ruler and then measure on pc than this imo, as long as camera is on same level as hips
