MEASUREMENTS FOR WOMEN’S GARMENTS

BUST: fitted over a bra at the fullest part of the bust, please note that this should be the measurement
around your bust, not your bra size as bra size can differ from your actual measurement.

CUP SIZE: bra cup size (ie A, B, C, DD etc).

UNDERBUST: measure around your chest, just below your bust.

WAIST: fitted over skin or underwear. Please note that it is your natural waist measurement that we need.

SIDE LENGTH: measure from your armpit (with your arm down at your side) to the level of your natural waist.
If you are a larger size and go in sharply at the waist, please don't measure around the curve,
but rather straight down to the level of the natural waist. Women between the heights of 5'4" and 5'10" are
usually between 9 - 10 inches in this area.

WAIST COMPRESSIBILITY (optional): This is just to give us a guide of how compressible your waist is,
if you're not sure, just go with the standard compression. What we would like to know is whether your waist is very firm
(ie won't compress very much, quite common with very small sizes) or very soft ( ie will compress a great deal, in
which case you might want a larger than normal waist compression).

HIGH HIP: measured over underwear or lightweight clothing around the the hip bone area.

LOW HIP: measured over underwear or lightweight clothing at the fullest part of the hips
(this may be over the buttocks if that is where you are widest/fullest)

SKIRT LENGTH: measure this from the side of the waist, down your leg to the desired hem length for the front/side
of the skirt. If the skirt you are wishing to order has a train (ie. is longer at the back than front),
please do not take that intoconsideration when you are measuring.
We only want to know the required length for the front/side of the skirt.

DRESS LENGTH: measure this from the side of the neck (where it meets the shoulder)
down the front of the body (over one breast) and then all the way down to the desired hem length for the dress

SHOULDER WIDTH: measure across the front of the shoulders from side to side.
Average is approximately 40 cms (16 inches)

HEIGHT: your height in feet and inches (ie 5' 6" etc)

MEASUREMENTS FOR MEN’S GARMENTS

BICEP: Measure around the largest part of your upper arm

CHEST: measured around the chest (at nipple height) over skin or lightweight clothing (shirt etc)

WAIST: fitted over skin or underwear. Please note that it is your natural waist measurement that we need.

NECK SIZE: your standard neck size for shirts or if you're not sure then measure around the base of your neck (where a shirt collar would sit)

LENGTH (FOR COATS ETC): measure this from the side of the neck (where it meets the shoulder) down the front of
the body all the way down to the desired hem length for the coat

HEIGHT: your height in feet and inches (ie 5' 6" etc)
