A legendary tailor once said: A suit is a man’s armor. If you put it on, you will fight! The most important step in the armor customization process is the measurement. Do you know how to measure it correctly?
A slight difference or error will often affect the overall effect of the garment. Professional body measurement has strict requirements in terms of location and size control. Only accurate measurements can make a well-fitting suit and the most tasteful and excellent suit.
First, the specific parameters required for body measurement:
1 .Men’s suit: height, length, chest, shoulder width, mid-rise, sleeve length, hem. Pants: trouser length, waist, hip, straight crotch, leg opening.
2. Women’s suit: height, length, bust, shoulder width, mid-waist, sleeve length, hem. Pants: trouser length, waist, hip, straight crotch, Foot and mouth.
3. Special body shapes must be recorded clearly, and the parts measured at the same time, such as: front chest width, back width, and the amount of chest lift for women (front waist length) )
4. Specific parts 4. Observation and recording of special body shapes: While measuring the body, it is necessary to observe the customer’s body shape in order to make the garments fit better. Generally, there are the following situations:
1) Hunchback: measure the length of the back clothes to determine the amount of hunchback
2) Chest lift: measure the length of front and back clothing to determine the amount of chest lift
3) Belly protrusion: measure the front and back clothing length to determine the amount of belly
4) Sloping shoulders (sloping shoulders): Determine the degree of sloping shoulders by visual inspection or projection
5) The height of the left and right shoulders: use visual observation or projection to determine the left and right slopes
6) Record the symbols used: hunchback, chest thrust out , protruding belly, flat back, slipped shoulders,
Second, things to note before measuring:
1. The person being measured is required to stand upright, with a natural posture, and do not take deep breaths.
2. When measuring the circumference and width, be careful not to pull the tape too loose or too tight, and keep it level.
3. When measuring the chest circumference, the arms of the person being measured should be vertical, and when measuring the waist circumference, the belt should be loosened.
4. When making summer clothing in winter or winter clothing in summer, the measurement should be based on the customer’s requirements
Please reduce or enlarge the size appropriately.
5. Pay attention to the body shape characteristics when measuring, and mark any special parts for tailoring
reference.
6. Different body types have different requirements. Those who are fat should not be too fat or those who are too thin
The size should be appropriately generous.
7. Measurements should be carried out in order to avoid leakage.
Third, the specific method of correct body measurement is as follows:
12 Rise: both legs Slightly open, pass the measuring tape through the crotch, and measure from the front waistband to the back waistband, and then divide by two. When measuring, the measuring tape must fit under the crotch, and be raised or lowered according to personal preference. The higher it is raised, the longer the crotch will be, and vice versa. Yes.
Fourth, volume changes and relaxation:
General In the case of obese customers, the circumference can be reduced accordingly, because fat customers generally wear less clothes, which can also make the clothes more beautiful. The amount of relaxation of the bust (men’s tops): 14-18cm. The larger the waistline, the less the amount of relaxation must be reduced by 10-14cm. The reason is that when obese people wear suits, they will not button them in most cases. In addition, it can cover up the shortcomings of the body shape. On the contrary, the thin body shape has a bust of 20-24cm and a mid-waist of 20-24cm. This can make up for the lack of body shape and make it fit. Otherwise, it will give people a bamboo tube shape and customers will not be satisfied. This problem is not as obvious with women’s clothing as it is with men’s clothing, because women’s clothing itself is more fitted to reflect the body’s curves, and generally only has an adjustment of 1-2cm.
Fifth, body measurement records:
Each part must be The records must be clear, and the indication of special body shapes must be read and understood by the tailors. Moreover, sometimes each person is measured for hundreds of suits, so that the filing (size) can be more convenient and accurate.
Sixth, the combination of archiving and production after measurement:
After the measurement is completed, each customer’s size must be summarized into the sample specifications closest to the customized size. This can facilitate the work of the cutting personnel and ensure the accuracy of the specifications. At the same time, work efficiency and inspection personnel’s inspections are improved, and the quality of customized suits is better.
