Year Six Fashion Project - Taking Measurements

How do I know my outfit will fit me?

1. It is highly important that you take your measurements using a flexible tape measure. Please ask Mum/Dad/Sister/Nanny to help!

If you are basing your design on the t-shirt you may already be confident about your garment fitting; otherwise, you will need to consider the following:

Neck Measurement
Sleeve Measurement
Cuff Measurement
Chest Measurement
Hip Measurement
Waist Measurement
Shoulder Measurement
Upper Body Measurement

There are some tips on getting this right here.

2. You should then create a design on paper showing your dress in component parts, complete with measurements.
