Dressmaker Measurements

Quick answer: commissions include customer measurement data used for fit. Confirm the size before cutting — a pattern cut to the wrong size is only discovered at the end.

Where measurements appear

The commission flow includes the customer's measurements alongside style, budget and colours. Fitting the right size is part of the design step, before fabric and pattern work begin (see Commissions).

Checking fit before cutting

  1. Read the customer's measurements in the brief, next to the style line.
  2. Confirm the selected design and size cover those measurements.
  3. Adjust the pattern size if the design offers it — before laying on fabric.
  4. Cut and sew as planned; fit is decided by the earlier steps, not by sewing.
