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.
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.
