Very few women have measurements that match perfectly to a standard size chart, that's why clothes you buy from department stores do not fit properly. Some people have similar measurements in common areas such as the bust, waist and hips, but when the body is measured on 10 vital areas for garment comfort, you will notice that each body measured will be uniquely different.

People who make Custom Clothing have been around for centuries and the people who use this type of service greatly appreciate all the benefits that come with a custom fit, including; comfortable, stylish fashions that they can order in their favorite color or texture of fabric.

Annabelle Custom Fit Service

For a proper fitting garment that looks as beautiful, on you, as it feels, we require all measurements outlined below. Do not add ease. All measurements should be taken with your tape measure snug (not pinching tight or falling off too loose) against the body. We will add ease to the garment where needed for comfort and fit, depending on the fabric choice and style you select.

If you prefer to purchase our Ready to Wear garment's you can compare your basic measurements to our size charts. These garments are designed using three standard measurements; bust, waist and hip with the average height measurements for Petite, Regular and Tall taken into consideration.

You Will Need

• a flexible tape measure
• a helping partner (you cannot accurately measure yourself)
• pen and paper
• comfortable snug fitting clothing that has no layers (example is Bra and Panties, bathing suit, body suit )

For your convenience, you can download a paper version of the form below to use while measuring yourself, then just transfer your numbers to the form prior to sending.
