Things to Keep in Mind While Taking Measurement on the Body.

a. Round measurement /girth measurement are to be taken by measuring over the widest point of the body with two fingers between the body and measuring tape, this will ensure that the body is neither pressed nor squeezed. 

b. Thigh measurement should be taken while the person is seated. 

c. Elbow measurement and knee measurement should be taken while they are in bent position. 

d. Ankle measurement should be taken around the heel of the wearer.

Note: Remember the measuring tape should not press into the body otherwise measurement may not be accurate.

e. For lengthwise measurement, ensure that the customer is standing in a natural pose. 

f. Length wise measurement: While taking length wise measurement a hand should be kept under the bust for ensuring that bust is taken while measuring the length. Otherwise the length of the garment will fall short.

g. Shoulder/cross back measurements are taken from one shoulder bone to the other. 

h. Sleeve length is taken from the shoulder bone to the length required 

i. For full length of the salwar measure from waist to the floor ensuring that the person is standing straight.
