Measurement Guide
|
|
Cloak & Dagger's system of
measurements may be different from that of other garment makers, so
please read the directions carefully. You will need a tape measure, a
yardstick,
a piece of string, and some assistance from a friend. You want to
enlist someone's help in taking measurements because they can be
distorted if you try to take them yourself.
Lay the tape measure flat against the skin; don't pull it tight, or let
it droop. If you want
the garment extra loose or tight, put that in as a separate comment. |
|
If you have any questions about
how measurements should be taken, please do not hesitate to call or
e-mail. Any measurement mistakes on your part will be fixed at your
cost. |
|
**IMPORTANT** Take the
measurements over top of whatever other garments will be worn beneath
the costume.
All measurements should be taken wearing any undergarments and shoes
that will
be worn with the desired garment. If you're wearing a flattening sports
bra, it won't
give us a true picture of your shape. |

General Measurement Instructions
|
|
To find the true back of the
neck, have the person tilt their head forward
so that knobby bone at the back of the neck (the cervical vertebra) is
obvious. That point is the back of the neck. |
|
To find the smallest
circumference around the chest/trunk (her waist), tie a
string around the general waist area. The string will naturally
slip to the narrowest part of her trunk. If the person feels
this is still too high, loosen and lower the string to where
it feels right. Use this lower waist if you are ordering pants or
a skirt. But use the higher waist if you are ordering a bodice or gown.
