Ukrainian EmbroiderySHIRT MEASUREMENT GUIDE |
The task of selling handmade clothing has one inherent difficulty, size.
Two countries, 2 different standards of measurements, dozens of dozens
of artists making clothing the way they were taught from their parents
and relatives. Variation is the only standard. So what we have
done is take some key measurements from each individual shirt and post
those measurements to you. Below is a diagram to how we take the measurements.
You can measure these on yourself or take a shirt that fits you well and
measure it , then compare. Always allow for extra room and shrinkage!
| NECK | DIM A | Around the inside of the collar.
For drawstring collars on the women's blouses, this is the side of the opening. |
| SLEEVE | DIM B | Base of the neck or collar to the the end of the sleeve.
For the blouses with the drawstring opening, we measure from where the tip of shoulder would be to the end of the sleeve. |
| CHEST, BUST | DIM C | Distance around the shirt measured under the armpits |
| LENGTH | DIM E | Laying the shirt flat, the distance from the collar or opening to the end of the shirt measured on the front |
