Measurement Chart

I try to take these measurements at least twice a year, or before embarking on a new project.
Wear loose clothing, do not wear jeans or tight clothing, as they will affect your measurement results.
Some of these measurements are extra ones that we've found to be very useful when tailoring garments for distant customers.

This graphic was created by Tigermeep in February of 1999. I would request that visitors please do not copy or redistribute this chart for anything other than personal use. Thanks!.
