Men's Measurement Form - Fashions of the Ages

Fashions of the Ages Men's Measurements Before you begin please read the following: It is absolutely essential that you take careful measurements in order to ensure proper fit of your garments. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MEASUREMENTS BY YOURSELF. Ask a trusted friend or go to a local bridal or alterations shop. Fashions of the Ages is NOT responsible for garments that do not fit as a result of inaccurate measurements. All of our garments are drafted from scratch based on the designs of the historical period you have selected and your specific needs. There are no refunds or exchanges of any kind, alterations will only be made if there is a mistake on our part. If you have any questions please e-mail us before beginning, as we are more than happy to help. Measurements should be taken while wearing whatever undergarments you plan on wearing under your garment(s). To achieve the best fit do not take your measurements directly after eating. It is best to avoid eating for 2-3 hours before taking measurements. Try to be as natural as possible with regards to your posture when taking measurements; do not suck in your waist unless instructed to do so. Record measurements in 1/2 inch increments with the tape measure pulled sung. A paper take measure is preferable, plastic measurers are okay also.

CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE: Measure around the fullest part of your chest *FRONT CHEST: Measure from side to side around the fullest part BACK CHEST:* Measure from side to side around the fullest part Your front and back chest measurements should be taken around the fullest part of your chest (along the same line you've taken your chest circumference measurement). However, instead of measuring all the way around your body the front chest measurement starts at your right side (under your armpit) and measures across your chest ending at your left side (under your armpit). Your back chest measurement is taken the same way, starting at your right side and measuring across your back to your left side, again along the same line that your chest circumference measurement was taken on. A way to check and make sure you're measurements are correct is to add your front chest and back chest measurements together - they should equal your CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE (#1) measurement. a.)
