Mastering the technique of measuring custom clothing sizes is critical to your DIY time. The following is a detailed explanation of the techniques for measuring personalized clothing sizes to help you accurately measure your size and create customized clothing that fits your individual body shape.
1. Bust: Use a tape measure to measure horizontally around the fullest part of the chest, making sure the tape is relaxed but not loose. Record the measurement results.
2. Waist: Measure with a tape measure close to the thinnest part of the waist, allowing the subject to breathe naturally and stay relaxed. Record the measurement results.
3. Hip: Use a tape measure to measure horizontally around the fullest part of the buttocks, and make a circle around the widest part of the buttocks. Record the measurement results.
4. Shoulder Width: Use a tape measure to measure from the front edge of one shoulder to the farthest edge of the front edge of the other shoulder. Make sure the tape measure is level and not sliding down. Record the measurement results.
5. Sleeve Length: Use a tape measure to measure from the tip of the shoulder above the shoulder to the tip of the wrist bone. Make sure the tape measure is parallel to your arm and avoid being too tight or too loose. Record the measurement results.
6. Leg length (Leg Length): Use a tape measure to measure from the highest point of the waist (usually the waist circumference) to the tip of the ankle bone. Make sure the tape measure is perpendicular to the ground and avoid being too tight or too loose. Record the measurement results.
7. Neck Circumference: Use a tape measure to measure horizontally around the base of the neck, allowing the subject to breathe naturally and remain relaxed. Record the measurement results.
8. Garment Length: Use a tape measure to measure from the cervical vertebra above the shoulder to the edge of the hem of the desired garment. Make sure the tape measure is vertical, not too tight and not too loose. Record the measurement results.
9. Waistline Height: Use a tape measure to measure the vertical line from the cervical vertebrae at the back of the neck to the thinnest part of the waist. Make sure the tape measure is plumb and snug. Record the measurement results.
10. Thigh Circumference: Use a tape measure to measure around the thickest part of the thigh. Make sure the tape measure is level but not loose. Record the measurement results.
11. Foot Size: Use a scale or special foot measuring tool to measure the length and width of the foot. Size should be measured from the longest point of the foot (usually between the big toe and toes) to the heel. Record the measurement results.
Through the above measurement techniques, you can accurately get the size of personalized clothing. When taking measurements, ensure that the subject is relaxed and standing upright, while using appropriate tools (e.g. tape measure, scale) to ensure accuracy of measurement. For the measurement of some special parts (such as neck circumference, waistline height, etc.), the subject’s assistance may be required. Remember to record all measurements when summarizing and double-check to ensure accuracy. This way, you can create personalized garments based on these measurements that fit snugly and comfortably.
