Measurement chart for historical costumes
Please measure incl. the underwear you plan to wear under the costume. Not all measurements are necessary for all costumes. Try to choose only the relevant ones. In doubt please fill in rather more than less data. We strongly recommend assistance of another person! Try to stand straight, naturally relaxed. The measuring tape should be snug to the body, but do not draw it too tight. |
