Body Measurements for Ladies Blouse


Taking accurate body measurements are of vital importance for obtaining best results in
garments construction. Besides good fitting, correct measurements can also contribute
towards saving time in making different kinds of garment. Taking body measurements is a
responsible task, which should be undertaken with great care. For this purpose, it is important
for a dress maker to have adequate knowledge about correct methods of taking and recording
body measurements, equipment required for it and other important points to be considered in
taking the measurements.

Pointers to Consider in Taking Measurements:

1. A good quality measuring tape should be used for taking the body measurements. The
long metal end of the tape is used for taking vertical measurements and the rounded
metal end is used for taking horizontal measurements.
2. Person giving the measurements should stand straight, but in a natural pose and
preferably in front of a mirror. A well fitted foundation garments should be worn
while giving measurements.
3. Another person is needed to take measurements. Basic lines of the body are to be
taken into consideration while measuring body parts.
4. Before body measurements are taken, a cord or tape is fastened around the waist and
left until all measurements have been completed. The tape should be kept parallel to
the ground while taking girth measurements like bust, waist, hip, etc.
5. The accuracy of several measurements depends on this exact waistline location. Add
to these measurements the suggested amount of ease.
6. The amount of ease needed varies with the type of fabric used. More ease is needed
for woven fabrics than knits.
7. A proper order and certain sequence should be followed in taking the measurements
to make it more systematic.
