  • WARNING!The conversion data are only suggestive.When purchasing from our website, where it is impossible for us to take your measurements, and especially for our “Made to order”, it is crucial to give us very accurate measurements, specifying them when placing your order. From March 1st 2012 you can use our “Personal table for tailor made garments”. HOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS

 Check your size according to our table. It is very simple; it only takes a few minutes and a common measuring tape.Take the circumference of your chest, waist and hips.manichinoperabitidatango.jpg

 

 

 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)
