Measure a shirt that fits you well and use those dimensions as the reference for your personal pattern.

This method provides greater accuracy than body measurements and helps ensure balanced proportion from the start.

Before You Begin

To ensure accurate measurements:

• Use a shirt that fits you well 
• Button the shirt completely
• Lay the shirt flat on a smooth surface
• Smooth out wrinkles before measuring

Use a flexible measuring tape and record each measurement carefully.

Measurements can be submitted in inches or centimeters.

Measurements Section

Each measurement should follow the same visual structure for consistency.
