How we measure
  • Body length is from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem.
  • Chest, laid flat is across the garment one inch below the armhole, with the shirt flat on a table.
  • Chest, full is that measurement doubled, so it compares to a chest size you already know.
  • Sleeve length is from the centre back of the neck, along the shoulder, to the sleeve end.

Measurements are in inches and allow a one inch tolerance, which is normal for cut and sew apparel.
