Measurement Guide

There are no returns or exchanges on Custom-made garments. We expect you to measure yourself with a tape measure before ordering. All the measurements you offer us should be the exact BODY size not CLOTHING size. Based upon those measurements, our experienced tailor will add the proper space for comfort and movement

Important:
  1. In order to get exact figures, do not add room to your body measurements.
  2. Put the tape measure flat against the skin, not too tight or too droppy.
  3. Wear your usual underwear when taking measurements.
  4. If you have any other instruction, please write in the 'Comment' box of the online order form. Our tailors will follow accordingly.
