CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE: Take the exact measurement of the circumference at the widest point.
- WAIST: Take your measurements and add 1-2 cm to the final result.
- HIPS: the measurements must be taken at the most protruding point.
- LENGHT OF THE LEG: Take the length of the leg from the hip to the floor.
Please do not forget to include your height; it is an important piece of information to us especially when making skirts and trousers.
Do you have any specific needs? A longer or shorter garment depending on your height? Please let us know. Or please input your precise sizes in the “Personal table for tailor made garments”. (Service available from 31st March 2012)
