MEASUREMENT

What’s In

Measurements are the foundation of pattern drafting. They establish

basic axes which are natural to the body. These axes are then used to
reconstruct the shape of the body on to the paper. They must take with
complete accuracy.

Measurements can be taken without assistance, but the task is easier

when you have someone to help you.

Rules in Taking Body Measurement

 Wear undergarments or bodysuit when measuring.
 Use tape measure that does not stretch.
 Tie a string around your natural waistline.
 Pull the tape snug, but not too tight.
 Be sure to keep the tape parallel to the floor.
 Take girth measurements, then length measurements.
 Ask the subject to stand in a relaxed, upright position in stocking feet.
 Insert two fingers in taking girth measurements.
 Record all measurements on a chart accurately.

back shoulder over the shoulder blade down to the waistline level.

Figure front. Measurement taken from the neck point passing

over the bust down to the waistline level.

point down to the highest point of the bust.
