1. Measuring Tools
1. Soft ruler
The soft ruler is the most basic and commonly used measuring tool. It is mainly used to measure the size of the human body and finished clothing. The front side of the ruler is in centimeters and the back side is in inches. When drawing, use centimeters to draw the clean seam line. When cutting, add the seam amount according to the needs of each part of the garment (the seam amount also includes the size of the back such as the grip inside the trouser leg)
2. Angle ruler
A ruler for measuring the angle of the shoulder oblique line, the slope of the chest, and other angles of various parts of the body.
3. Height meter
A tool used to measure the height of the human body, sitting height, etc., and the longitudinal height of the human body.
Two. Measurement requirements
1. Posture requirements for the measurer
(1). The person being measured should stand upright and naturally, with arms hanging down naturally. Do not lower your head or raise your chest.
(2). When measuring the crotch depth in a sitting position, the back is perpendicular to the chair surface, the calves are perpendicular to the ground, and the upper limbs are placed naturally on the knees.
(3). The measured data is the net size of the human body. The person being measured is required not to wear a bra that is too high, otherwise the bust size will be biased.
2. Requirements for cutting measurement
(1). When measuring, follow the order from front to back, from left to right, from top to bottom, length first and then girth. Come and measure everything.
(2). When measuring length, the tape measure should be vertical. When measuring the circumference, you should measure the circumference around the convex points and concave low points of the body. When measuring, you need to pay attention to the tape measure to keep it horizontal and parallel and not skewed. The size should not be too loose or too tight. The standard is that you can turn the tape measure to should. (This size is not the final cutting size)
(3). Communicate with the measurer about his wearing preferences and refer to it.
(4). When measuring the human body, it is necessary to distinguish the category of clothing, wearing season, style requirements and the wearing performance of the fabric.
(5). Observe whether the person being measured has any special body shape, such as slumped shoulders, hunchback, chest thrust, etc. and record them. These problems need to be solved when designing the cutting diagram.
(6). Organize the measurement information and data into a style cutting schematic process sheet.
Clothing soft ruler
Three. Measurement parts
1. Height: the distance from the top of the head to the soles of the feet.
2. Clothing length: the distance from the neck and shoulder point to the hip, or the size required by the style.
3. Sleeve length: the distance from the shoulder end to the wrist convex point, or the size required by the style.
4. Waist line: the distance from the neck and shoulder point through the highest point of the chest to the thinnest part of the body above the buttocks.
5. Back length: the vertical distance from the seventh cervical vertebra point to the lumbar node line.
6. Chest height: the distance from the neck and shoulder point to the breast point.
7. Hip height: the distance from the waist line down to the highest point of the hip.
8. Crotch depth: the length from the waist line to the groin. For particularly well-fitting styles, measure the crotch depth in a sitting position, which is the vertical distance from the waist to the chair surface.
9. Head circumference: measure the size of the forehead.
10. Collar circumference: Stand the measuring tape sideways and measure the size around the neck and shoulder points and neck dimples, or the size required by the style.
11. Bust: measure a circle horizontally with the measuring tape passing through the high point of the chest.
12. Waist circumference: Measure the size of a circle through the thinnest part of the waist.
13. Hip circumference: Measure the size of a circle around the fullest part of the buttocks.
14. Arm circumference: the measurement of the thickest part of the arm under the armpit.
15. Wrist circumference: measure the size of one circle of the wrist.
16. Shoulder width: the distance from the end point of the left shoulder to the end point of the right shoulder. (A tape measure is required to measure on the back of the human body)
17. Front chest width: the distance between the left and right front armpit points of the chest.
18. Back width: the distance between the left and right rear armpit points of the back.
19. Breast height: the distance between the two breast heights.
