There will be exceptions to these guidelines which will be noted on style specific size specification sheets. Outlined below are measuring guidelines: 1. All measurements should be taken with either a plastic or metal tape measure. Plastic tape measures will stretch over time; these should be checked periodically against a metal ruler to ensure accuracy. 2. Numbering system - each measurement in this manual has a 3-digit number. The first number indicates the body zone ranging from numbers 1-9. i.e. head area 100s, neck area 200s, arm area 300s, chest/bust 400s, waist/torso area 500’s, hip 600s, leg area 700s, bottom area 800s, ankle/misc. 900s. 3. All measurements are to be taken with garments laid on a flat surface, in a relaxed position, with all wrinkles gently smoothed out. All measurements should be taken with buttons and/or zippers fully closed unless otherwise stated. 4. All knitwear items should be “patted” to remove creases and folds, but not stretched, unless specified. 5. All extended measurements should be taken against a stationary measuring tool, such as a tape measure adhered to a flat surface. Items should be measured in the following manner: Insert elastic: extend garment until fabric is smooth without breaking stitches. Stretch material: garment should be fully extended, but not distorted. Stitches should not be broken. Definitions: CB = Center Back CF = Center Front HPS = High Point Shoulder 1 “How To Measure” Page 1 of 2 NUMBERING SYSTEM - Numbers are based on a 1-9 system. Each number identifies a “zone” of the body, beginning with 1 at the top and descending to 9 at the bottom.
