HOW TO TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS
Your satisfaction is important to us. This guide will ensure that our garments fit you perfectly and that no alterations will be needed.
- Before taking the measurements of a garment, it must be laid out on a flat surface such as a table or bed; if the garment is not completely extended, the measurements taken could be incorrect.
- Use the right kind of tape measure: it should be a fabric or plastic tape like those used by tailors and dressmakers.
- Make a note of your measurements so you have them on hand, avoiding the need to take them again.
