If you measure your waist and it is 26", add 2" and you will want a 28" belt.
The mens' belt sizes go in 2" increments so you add the 2" to your actual measurement. That takes in the extra fabric, belt loops, etc. So same should work for the hips. If you have 36" hips, you would want a 38" belt.

Michelle, use the string suggestion, that'll work.

That helps, I tend to like the adjustable ones Michelle mentioned though. Yay, belt adventure here I come!
