Many custom customers have turned to us for tailored clothing due to difficulties in finding well-fitting garments. However, many women are even unsure of their own sizes, let alone how to measure them. Therefore, we have compiled some clothing measurement methods for your reference. While they may not result in an exact fit, a general size can usually be determined after understanding them. So, next time you come to us for a custom dress, remember to measure your own size first—it's a must-have condition before starting your personal tailor-made dress!

A product is typically released from the factory with size data provided by the manufacturer, usually measured in a flat lay method. The most commonly used unit of measurement is centimeters (CM), followed by detailed dimensions for various parts of the top and bottom garments. However, due to variations in measurement methods and positions among different individuals, there may be a discrepancy of 2-3 CM between the measurements. Additionally, many brand products offer professional model real photos, including basic model information such as bust, waist, hip measurements, weight, height, and the size of the clothing worn by the model. Buyers can use this data as a reference.

When purchasing clothing, the general areas we measure include the following, and of course, some special styles may require measurements of additional detailed areas!

1. For tops, the measurements required are: shoulder width, bust circumference, sleeve length, cuff length, and the length of the top that fits you best.

2. For pants, the measurements required are: waist, hip, thigh circumference, inseam, and the pant length that fits you.

3. For dresses, measurements required include: shoulder width, bust, waist, hip, and the skirt length that suits you.

4. For the skirt, measurements required are: waist, hip, and the preferred skirt length that fits you.

Due to varying measurement points among individuals, if you follow the basic measurement method, the error range is approximately 2 to 3 cm. Therefore, you can add 2 cm to your net size, and when checking the product's dimensions, compare them with your actual size to see if the product fits you.
