Fit Profile

Fit Profile builder

Take your measurements with a tape and get a file that holds them, for the reference implementation to compare with a garment on your own computer.

This page keeps nothing: no draft, no copy, and nothing is sent. It compares nothing either: the comparison runs on your computer. In this version it does not open a file you made before.

Step 1

Before you measure

Stand relaxed, in light underwear or close-fitting clothes, without shoes. A girth goes all the way round with the tape level, snug against the body and not pulling it in; breathe normally. A length follows the body. The shoulders and the arm need a second person; the rest can be taken alone.

Fill in what you measured, and leave the rest empty: a gap is useful, a guess is not.

One unit for the whole file.

It goes with every measurement in the file.

Step 2

Upper body

Around the base of the neck, where the band of a shirt collar sits.
cm
Across the back, with the tape resting on it, from the tip of one shoulder to the tip of the other: the point where the bone of the shoulder ends and the arm begins.
cm
Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. On a body with breasts this is the fullest part of the bust. The difference between bust and underbust matters for garments this version does not cover, and is left open (05-open-questions.md, question 10).
cm
Around the natural waist: the narrowest part of the torso, usually a little above the navel. This is the waist of a shirt, not of a pair of trousers.
cm
From the tip of the shoulder, down the outside of the arm held slightly bent, over the elbow, to the wrist bone.
cm
Step 3

Legs

Around the body where the waistband of your trousers usually sits. For most people this is lower than the natural waist. A garment cut to sit higher or lower than usual will be judged against this height all the same: the Cut Profile does not say where a waistband sits.
cm
Around the fullest part of the hips and seat, with the feet together.
cm
Around the fullest part of one thigh, just below the crotch.
cm
Along the inside of the leg, from the crotch to the ankle bone, standing straight.
