How we Measure...

We offer these eight steps to a wonderful fit.

To begin measuring simply tie a piece of string around the person's waist. This will then act as a reference point from which to take all measurements. Note that all measurements should be taken in inches.

1. To gauge skirt measurement, start the tape from the piece of string and measure down to a bent knee. Then simply take away between 3 to 4 inches depending on how short or long you want the skirt.
2. To gauge neck to waist measurement, measure from the center of the back of neck down along the client’s back to the piece of string around the client’s waist.
3. The bust measurement is to be taken around the fullest section the clients bust. Place tape at the center of the shoulder blades and bring around the fullest section of the clients bust back to the starting point of the tape.
4. To measure the waist simply start the tape at center of lower back and measure along the path outlined by the piece of string you tied around the client’s waist at the beginning. When you return to the starting point take the measurement.
5. To gauge sleeve measurement, measure from the crease of the under arm down along a straight arm to the clients wrist.
6. To measure neck to shoulder simply measure from base of neck across the shoulder to the point where the crease of your underarm would meet the top of your shoulder.
7. To measure shoulder to shoulder measure from the point where the crease of your underarm would meet the top of your shoulder to the same point on the other side.
8. To gauge neck measurement simply measure around the client’s neck simply start at the center of the back of the neck and continue around until you reach the same point on the neck.
