Measurement Guide

It is always best to have someone measure you. Keep tape taut, and firm, but NOT tight against the body.  I will add seam allowances and ease.

It seems like allot of work, but truly this helps ensure that there are little to no adjustments needed once your item arrives!

I will need a full range of measurements for each item.

All measurements are in INCHES please

For skirts-

Length:  from the point where you will be wearing skirt on hip or at waist, to the back of the heel or top of the foot.  (I would like this measurement in the front as well as the rear to get the most accurate fit)

Hip at widest~ for 25 yard skirts

Pants:

Hip at widest

Hip/waist where they will sit

Rise: From front to back between legs.   For more accurate fitting pants, measure from your waist band, to the center crotch area, then from that point to the back waist band.  Giving each measurement.

Inseam: From crotch to floor (or for saloon pantaloons from crotch to middle of calf or shorter)

Outseam: from hip or waist to floor  (again for saloon pantaloons from hip to middle of calf or shorter)

 

 

Tops:

Bust at Fullest:

Under Bust:  Where bra band sits

Around Arm at Shoulder

Around Bicep

From top of shoulder to elbow or wrist depending on length of sleeve. (or both for sleeves with splits) (please be sure to take this measurement with your arm slightly bent.
