CLOTHING
& ACCESSORY MEASUREMENTS
It is very important that one provides exact measurements when requesting something custom made for themselves. If you live a distance and still desire to have something made from a pattern that you provide, it is recommended that you obtain measurements from a qualified seamstress.
Depending on what you are requesting to have made, will possibly have different
measurement requirements.
There
have been a few of my clients that need to order their gowns from another
company due to a bridal request or a costume company. For clients needing
this service, I do provide a measurement service that you can mail to the
company creating your gown. The measurements I provide are very detailed.
Bust: Measure around the widest part of the back, straight across the fullest part of the bust. Do not use your bra size measurement.
Waist: Measure around your natural waistline. Leave one finger under the tape measure so the tape is not skin tight.
Neck, wrist, bi-cep, thigh, ankle: Sometimes these measurements are
necessary for garments, such as children's clothing. Do not measure tightly, but rather for comfort around each area.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hip. Leave one finger under the tape measure so the tape is not skin tight.
Inseam: Crotch to hem length desired. Many customers provide the inseam measurements from a pair of slacks that they might already wear.
Waist To Finished Length: Measure from your natural waistline to the desired finished length of the garment. Consider the heel height being worn if this is a
full-length dress/gown.
Hollow To Hem: Measure from the hollow (sunken area at the throat ) to the length you want your finished hemline to be. If possible, measure with the shoe that
you will wear if this is a full-length dress/grown, or with the same height heel.
Back Neck To Waistline: Measure from the back neck bone down to the natural waistline.
