| The measurements you see posted in the listings are specific to each design, which is why a small in one style may be slightly different than a small in another. You'll find most of our designs are available in small, medium, and large; these sizes are fairly standard through the catalogue. We post individual measurements (rather than rely on umbrella sizing) because each piece is completely hand crafted. Depending on the fabrics and the cut of the piece the size may vary slightly from garment to garment- as is the case with all hand made clothing. We want you to have as much information on the creations as possible prior to purchase. ~ Determining Your Size ~ If you are ever unsure of a size or garment please email us, we are always happy to send you any additional measurements or answer any questions you may have. We answer all inquiries within 24 hours.There are a couple ways of determining the best size for your figure: The first is to find a similar garment in your current wardrobe, of a similar fabric (i.e. non-stretch or stretch) lay it flat on the floor or a table. Use a flexible sewing measuring tape to measure from armpit to armpit (if a top/dress/coat), the length -from shoulder seam or strap to bottom, and the waist/under-bust if necessary. Double all these measurements (i.e. an 18' inch bust on a top = a 36 bust circumference) and you'll be able to compare those to the ones posted in our listings. The second way requires a little more finesse, you'll need a flexible sewing measuring tape or a piece of string (and something to measure the string with). Bust- Wrap the measuring tape or string around your bust while wearing your favorite bra, at the WIDEST point- this is not the same place on everyone. Make sure it sits comfortably, you don't want it to be too tight or the garment won't fit properly. Waist- Measure your NATURAL waist, which is usually situated around your navel where skirts and dresses may hang. If you prefer to wear skirts lower on your hips measure that area. Again, ensure the tape/string is loose enough to be comfortable. Length for a garment is best found by measuring an existing piece of the appropriate length within your own wardrobe. ~ Other Sizing Issues ~ Some of our sizes sell out more quickly than others, if you don't see your size listed feel free to contact us. We may be planning to produce more of that design, or we may have enough fabric left to make another. In other cases the fabric is limited to the few available and won't be remade. We don't currently offer a tailoring or custom size service. Tailoring is best performed in person, as it is really difficult to adjust fit correctly without the client there with you. You can find a tailor to help you in your local yellow pages or commercial listings. ~ Select Order Sizing ~ Some items in our catalogue are produced solely upon request. The fabric for these is very limited and only a few will ever be made. All sizes will be available for these pieces, however there is a waiting period for us to construct the garment.For more information on our Select Order system (here) and the process of making our pieces (here).If you have any questions regarding our sizing, measurements, etc please email us: taeden@gloomth.com |
