Measurement Chart for our Custom Historical Clothing

You may either write your measurements in the "Measurements and General Information section" during the checkout process from our shopping cart, or print this page and fax or mail it to us.

It is best to use a cloth or a tailor measuring tape and it's easier if you have someone assist you. Try to stand straight, naturally relaxed (if not otherwise requested). The measuring tape should be snug to the body, but do not draw it too tight.

For the best fit you should wear the under garments that you will be wearing under your period clothing.

Not all measurements are necessary for each clothing item. Try to choose only the relevant ones. If in doubt please fill in. More is better than less.
