In order to work on the costume, we will need your measurements. Here's the detailed guide :3
C1 - Neck girth
Measure at the base of the neck above the cervical point (7th cervical vertebra), the base of the neck and the jugular notch of the sternum.
C2 - Chest width (take not by girth) and first chest girth
Chest width: Measured above the base of the breasts, between verticals drawn upward from the anterior angles of the armpits (7 cm below the jugular cavity - the suprasternal point).
C3 - Distance between the centers of the breast (nipple line)
Measured horizontally between protruding breast points
C5 - Waist circumference
Tie tightly around the waist (narrowest point) with auxiliary tape (this will ensure accurate measurement of vertical dimensions). The waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point around the torso (tight, but not too much).
C6 - Hip girth
Measure horizontally through the gluteal points and the most prominent points of the hips (the thigh line is located at a distance of approximately 18-21 cm from the waist line).
M1 - Stride length
Distance from groin to floor along the inside of the leg.
M2 - Waistline height
Waistline height is measured from the side vertically from the waistline to the floor.
G1 - Shoulder length
L1 - Chest height
L2 - Front length to waist line
Measured from the middle of the width of the shoulder slope. Through the protruding point of the breast and then vertically down to the level of the waist line, marked with a tape (there is no such size criterion in Russian standards).
L3 - Length from chest girth (first) to nipple line
L4 - Length from the nipple line to the waist
L5 - Length from waist to hips
Measured from waistline to hips.
C7 - Neck girth
Measure at the base of the neck above the cervical point (7th cervical vertebra), the base of the neck and the jugular notch of the sternum.
C8 - Chest girth (third)
Third chest circumference - Measured in the same way as the first chest circumference, only the measuring tape in front runs along the protruding points of the chest glands. Measured next to the first one without moving the tape on the back
C9 - Waist circumference
Tie tightly around the waist (narrowest point) with auxiliary tape (this will ensure accurate measurement of vertical dimensions). The waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point around the torso (tight, but not too much).
C10 - Hip girth
Measure horizontally through the gluteal points and the most prominent points of the hips (the thigh line is located at a distance of approximately 18-21 cm from the waist line).
G2 - Arm length from base of neck to wrist
L5 - Back length to waist
L6 - Seat height
Measured from the side vertically from the waist line to the horizontal plane of the seat in a sitting position.
M3 - Length from neck to floor
M4 - Side length
C2 - Arm length to the elbow
Measured from the shoulder point to the elbow
G3 - Chest height
Measure from the highest point of the shoulder seam to the waistline through the prominent point of the breast.
G4 - Armhole height
Measure vertically from the base of the neck to the horizontal with a centimeter or ribbons at the level of the upper corners of the armpits.
C11 - Shoulder girth
This measurement is taken horizontally at the back angles of the armpits.
C12 - Second chest girth
Defines the dimensions of the datum grid. Measure horizontally around the body through the protruding points of the chest glands, the measuring tape should not sag on the back.
C13 - Bicep girth
Measured perpendicular to the axis of the shoulder at the widest point of the shoulder, the arm should be bent (there is no such dimensional criterion in Russian standards).
C14 - Elbow girth
Measured horizontally along the protruding points of the elbow, while bending the arm slightly.
C15 - Forearm girth
C16 - Wrist girth
Measure perpendicular to the axis of the forearm along the radial joint through the head of the ulna, but not too tight.
C17 - Upper thigh girth
Measured near the groin at the most prominent points of the thigh.
C18 - Knee girth
Measure the knee circumference at the center of the patella.
C19 - Calf girth
Measured at the widest part of the calf.
C20 - Ankle girth
Measured horizontally around the leg just above the inner ankle.
L8 - Length from elbow to wrist
L9 - Length from hip to knee
L10 - length from knee to ankle
Be careful!
Masters are not responsible for incorrect measurement.
Measurements must be taken with a soft measuring tape. Not with building tapes or rulers!
Tie a rubber band around your waist where you think your waist is.
It is not necessary to take measurements from the naked body, you can wear tight, thin clothes without layers.
All body measurements marked "c" should be taked with girth (the only exception is C3). This means that you need to run a measuring tape around the part of your torso that you plan to measure.
C20 is your ankle measurement, be careful.
If necessary, we may ask you to take measurements that are not listed on this page.
Taking measurements of yourself is really difficult - ask your friend to help you!
Try to take all measurements in centimeters!
For complex costumes, it's won't be enough just to measure, you will need a Duct Tape Dummy (DTD).
The measuring tape should adhere to the body without deforming the soft tissue by tension.
