How to measure the size of customized suit?
The measurement of custom suit size can be divided into two categories. One is the net size. In layman’s terms, the customer stands in front of you and measures on the customer’s body. The other is measuring the finished size, which is measuring a piece of clothing.
Measure net dimensions
Measuring the net size requires skill and experience, and is also the most difficult part of measuring a custom-made suit. When measuring the net size, there are 12 parts that need to be measured. The parts to be measured are: collar circumference, front garment length, and back garment. Length, bust, mid-rise, shoulder width, sleeve length, pant length, waist, hip, hip, leg.
Measure finished product dimensions
Measuring the size of the finished product is simpler than measuring the net size. There are 10 parts that need to be measured. The parts to be measured are: bust, mid-waist, hem, dress length, shoulder width, sleeve length, trouser length, waist, hip, width crotch.
1. Men’s suits: height, length, chest, shoulder width, mid-rise, sleeve length, hem. Pants: trouser length, waist, hips, straight crotch, and ankle opening.
2. Women’s suits: height, length, bust, shoulder width, mid-waist, sleeve length, hem. Pants: trouser length, waist, hips, straight crotch, and cuffs.
3. Special body shapes must be recorded clearly, and the parts measured at the same time, such as: front chest width, back width, and the amount of chest lift for women (front waist length).
4. Specific parts 4. Observation and recording of special body shapes: While measuring the body, the customer’s body shape must be observed in order to make the garments fit better. Generally, there are the following situations:
1. Hunchback: Measure the length of the back clothing to determine the amount of hunchback.
2. Chest lift: Measure the length of the front and back clothes to determine the amount of chest lift.
3. Protruding belly: measure the length of front and back clothing to determine the amount of protruding belly.
4. Sloping shoulders (sloping shoulders): Use visual inspection or projection to determine the degree of sloping shoulders.
5. The height of the left and right shoulders: Determine by visual observation or projection, compared with the left and right slopes.
6. Record the symbols used: hunchback, chest thrust, protruding belly, flat back, sloping shoulders.
Body size change and amount of relaxation: Generally, for obese customers, the circumference can be reduced accordingly, because fat customers generally wear less clothes, which can also make customized suits more beautiful. The amount of relaxation of the bust (men’s tops): 14-18cm. The larger the waistline, the less the amount of relaxation must be reduced by 10-14cm. The reason is that when obese people wear customized suits, they will not button them in most cases, and they can also cover up the body shape. insufficient. On the contrary, the thin body shape has a chest circumference of 20-24cm and a mid-waist of 20-24cm. This can make up for the lack of body shape. If it is also made to fit, it will give people the feeling of a bamboo tube, and customers will not be satisfied. This problem is not as obvious with women’s clothing as it is with men’s clothing, because women’s clothing itself is more fitted to reflect the body’s curves, and generally only has an adjustment of 1-2cm.
record of body measurements
Each part must be recorded clearly, and special body shapes must be marked. Because it is industrialized production and not self-made, it has an impact and must be understood by the cutting personnel. Moreover, sometimes hundreds of customized sets are made for each person’s body measurement. Suit, this will make filing (number) more convenient and correct.
Combination of archiving and production after measurement
After the tailor-made suit is completed, each customer’s size must be summarized into a sample specification that is close to the company’s size. This can facilitate the work of the cutting personnel, ensure the accuracy of the specifications, and at the same time improve work efficiency and inspection personnel. Inspection and verification, and better ensure the company’s product quality.
The above are summed up by technicians in their daily work. They find them very useful and would like to share them with you. I hope that every tailor can add their own experience to the practice of custom-made suits in the future. Observe continuous improvement and improve your business level.
