Measurement Guide: 

It is always best to have someone measure you. Keep tape taut, and firm, but NOT tight against the body.  I will add seam allowances and ease.

It seems like allot of work, but truly this helps ensure that there are little to no adjustments needed once your item arrives!

I will need a full range of measurements for each item.

All measurements are in INCHES please

For skirts-

Widest part of hip: So that I can fit the waist band to you!

Waist (or where you wear your skirt) so that I can insert elastic to that length.  Or so your draw string isn’t so long.

Length:  from the point where you will be wearing skirt on hip or at waist, to the back of the heel or top of the foot.  (I would like this measurement in the front as well as the rear to get the most accurate fit)

Pants:

Hip at widest

Hip/waist where they will sit

Rise: From front to back between legs.   For more accurate fitting pants, measure from your waist band, to the center crotch area, then from that point to the back waist band.  Giving each measurement.

Inseam: From crotch to floor (or for saloon pantaloons from crotch to middle of calf)

Outseam: from hip or waist to floor  (again for saloon pantaloons from hip to middle of calf)

Tops:

Bust at Fullest:

Under Bust:  Where bra band sits

Around Arm at Shoulder

Around Bicep

Around wrist (depending on sleeve length and type)

From top of shoulder to elbow or wrist depending on length of sleeve. (or both for sleeves with splits)

For Ghawazee coat or Under bust Vest: 

Please include “top” measurements

From Collar bone to under bust measure (down center of chest)

Between shoulders – from shoulder bone to shoulder bone at top where it connects to your arm.  Be sure to stand up straight and measure behind neck, this ensures that the coat wont be too wide in the back.  (yes even with lacing)

From under arm to under bust at side

From under bust to waist (for coat)

From waist to hip (for coat)

From Shoulder to desired length  (for coat)
