In terms of “tailor-made clothes”, we can see the importance of anthropometric measurements for garment designers and garment model workers. Unlike mass-produced garments, private customization is more exquisite. No matter what body shape you are, you will eventually achieve a fit effect. Therefore, before making customized clothing, you must master various special body measurement techniques.

Let’s learn how to accurately measure the size of each part of the body.

Step 1: Measure the shoulder width. How can the shoulder width be measured accurately? The measurer stands behind the subject and uses two fingers to find the lateral midpoint of the acromion, which is the acromion point, along the scapula. Use a soft ruler to measure the distance between the two acromion points. The error of the reading scale shall not exceed 0.5 cm.

Step 2: We need to measure the size of the neckline. Regarding the size of the neckline, you can increase or decrease it according to the size of the neckline you want (the size of the mannequin frame is 13 inches).

Step 3: Measure the size of the bust. First of all, we must first determine which part of the bust size is the most suitable. It is the standard bust measurement by balancing the circumference for a week along the armpits and at the fullest part of the chest. Take the size. (Small tailoring takes the size of the model stand to 27 inches)

Step 4: Measure and take off the waist. Generally, the small cuts are measured with a standard 12-inch, just to the finest position of the waist. If you encounter a special body shape, we must measure the two waists at the same time.

Step 5: At the 12-inch lower waist section, we can measure our waist circumference, which is also the smallest part of our waist circumference for a week (the size of the mannequin frame is 21 inches for a small cut)

Step 6: To measure the size of our hips, generally draw a crop map, and the hip size is 5 inches below the waist. Of course, we measure the hip size and balance the circumference along the fullest part of the hip. (Small tailoring takes the size of the model stand to 28 inches)

Step 7: Measure the length of our clothes. We can measure the length we want. The standard measure is the length of the clothes, which is the length of the neck from the left side of the front body, through the highest point of the chest, and measure the required length . (Small tailoring takes the size of the model stand to be 18 inches)

Step 8: Measure the size of the sleeve length. The same is to measure the required size according to your own preferences. The standard measurement is to measure from the vertex of the left shoulder bone to the mouth of the hand, and then increase or decrease the length as needed. To measure the cuff is to measure the wrist for a week, and then add a ruler as needed.

Measuring the body size is the first step for us to sew clothes, and it is also the easiest step to learn sewing.
