Measuring Tips:
• Always use a fabric or plastic tape measure.
•Occasionally, check your tape against a metal ruler for accuracy.
•All measurements should be taken with the garment laying in a natural position on a flat surface.
•Gently smooth out all the wrinkles.
•Close all buttons and zippers before measuring.
•When measuring a curved seam, like an armhole, stand the tape measure on its edge for the most accurate measurement.
•If there is more than one method for taking a measurement, it is important to establish the measuring criteria for your company. This is known as the point of measure and must be indicated on your spec sheet.
•Follow your Point of Measure (POM) descriptions when measuring. For example, when measuring a shirt, specify on your spec sheet whether to measure the front body length from the high point shoulder (HPS) edge or seam.
•Your spec sheet should be listed with POMs in top to bottom order. For example, for shirts, you would begin measuring with the body length and then work your way down the garment. Measuring POMs in the same order as the spec sheet is efficient and saves time.
