Workshop Reference 002 Fit & measuring

Sizing

Practical guidance for understanding garment measurements, comparing fit, and choosing the right size.

Sizing is more useful when it starts with real measurements.

Measure a piece you already own and like. Compare those numbers before guessing from a label.

How To Measure

Lay the garment flat. Measure carefully. Do not stretch the fabric.

What Matters

  • Chest or waist
  • Shoulder width
  • Body length
  • Sleeve or inseam
  • How you want the piece to move

When In Doubt

Reach out with measurements. I would rather answer a fit question before a piece leaves the workshop.
