Despite having an eshop, I want to provide all of my customers with the custom fit service. Therefore there is no simple XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL sizing (except for stock products), but I want you to provide your measurements so that I can ensure the best possible fit of made to measure fashion. This is the next best option to visiting me, when I take those measurements myself. This tutorial provides you with basic information on how to take your own measurements.

What do you need?

• flexible measuring tape
• a person who helps you with taking the measurements
