MEASUREMENT

“measure twice, and cut once”

It is important to get someone to measure you.
Please do not guess, or use standard sizing .
Please do not try to measure yourself, or try to do this alone, it will create mistakes .
Please measure on top of simple thin clothing like a T-shirt and petticoat or thin cotton skirt.

All tailors say “measure twice, cut once!”


1.Please use a cloth tape measure , not a steel rule.
2. Measure in centimetres.
3. The person measuring needs to put two fingers under the tape measure for bust, waist, hips when measuring. This gives room for breathing and movement.
4. Shoulder to shoulder measurement take across the back from edge to edge at the top of the arms.
