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.
