In the realm of bespoke fashion, one of the most crucial elements in achieving a flawless fit is accurate measurements. Whether you're commissioning a custom-tailored Pakistani party outfit or any other bespoke garment, mastering the art of taking measurements properly is paramount.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure your measurements result in a perfectly tailored masterpiece.
1. Invest in Quality Tools:
Begin with the right tools for the job. A flexible measuring tape, preferably in inches or centimeters, is essential. Additionally, a mirror and a trusted friend or family member to assist with certain measurements can be invaluable.
2. Understand the Basics:
Familiarize yourself with the key measurements required for your garment type. For Pakistani party outfits, typical measurements include bust/chest, waist, hips, shoulder width, sleeve length, and length from shoulder to desired hemline.
3. Wear Appropriate Clothing:
When taking measurements, wear form-fitting clothing or undergarments to ensure accuracy. Loose or bulky clothing can distort measurements and lead to ill-fitting garments.
4. Stand Tall and Relaxed:
Maintain a natural stance with relaxed shoulders and arms by your side. Avoid slouching or standing too rigidly, as this can affect the accuracy of measurements.
5. Take Multiple Measurements:
For critical areas such as the bust, waist, and hips, take multiple measurements to ensure consistency. Measure each area at least two to three times to account for any discrepancies.
6. Use Landmarks as Guides:
Identify key anatomical landmarks to ensure precise measurements. For example, the bust measurement should be taken at the fullest part of the chest, while the waist measurement should be at the narrowest point.
7. Double-Check and Verify:
After taking each measurement, double-check the accuracy by comparing it to previous measurements and ensuring it aligns with the garment specifications. It's better to be thorough than risk inaccuracies.
8. Communicate with Your Tailor:
If you’re ordering online or through a boutique like AWW, provide clear and detailed instructions along with your measurements. Include any specific preferences or customizations to ensure your garment reflects your vision.
9. Consider Ease and Comfort:
Factor in ease and comfort when providing measurements. Depending on the style of the garment, your tailor may add allowances for movement and comfort, so be honest about your preferences.
10. Review and Adjust as Needed:
Before finalizing your order, review your measurements carefully. If something doesn’t seem right or if you’ve made any changes since taking the measurements, don’t hesitate to make adjustments.
