How to measure for a Proper Fit if you are unsure of your measurements!
A
PROPER FIT
or 25 Ways to Insure a Well Fitting Garment
|
Ghost Forge’s system for taking
measurements is different from that of other re-enactment clothiers; please pay
attention to the directions. You will need a tape measure; a tablet; a
writing utensil, and some assistance from a friend. A friend to help you
take your measures is necessary because they can easily be distorted when you
try to do them yourself. When measuring, lay the tape measure flat against
the skin, don’t pull it tight, or let it hang. If you want the garment
extra loose or tight don’t build it into your measurements. Make any
sizing adjustments as comments on a separate page. If you have any questions
about how measurements should be taken, please call or e-mail. Note
that any measurement mistakes on your part will be fixed at your cost. IMPORTANT:
Take your measurements over top of whatever other garments will be worn
underneath the pending costume creation, such as a set of stays and chemise or
shirt and pants, etc.
To find the smallest circumference around your waist, tie a string around the general waist area. The string will naturally slip to the narrowest part of your trunk. This should be your natural waist. |
