Standard method of measuring clothing size

1) In clothing inspection, measuring and checking the dimensions of each part of the clothing is a necessary step and an important basis for judging whether the batch of clothing is qualified.

Note: The standard is based on GB/T 31907-2015

Measurement tools and requirements

111

Measuring tools:  Use a tape measure or ruler with a graduation value of 1mm

Measurement requirements:

1) Lighting is generally used to measure the size of finished products, with the illumination not less than 600lx. Northern sky lighting can also be used when conditions permit.

2)  The finished product should be flat and measured, and buttons (or zippers closed), skirt hooks, trouser hooks, etc. should be fastened. For finished products that cannot be flattened, other methods can be adopted, such as folding in half and measuring along the edges, etc. For finished products with pull-out size requirements, measurements should be made by stretching them to the maximum while ensuring that the seams are not damaged and the fabric is not deformed.

3) When measuring, each dimension must be accurate to 1mm.

333

skirt length

      Skirt: Measure vertically from the top of the left waist along the side seam to the bottom of the skirt, see Figure 3;

Dress: Measure flat and vertically from the highest point of the front shoulder seam to the bottom edge of the skirt, see Figure 4; or flatten and measure vertically from the center of the back collar to the bottom edge of the skirt, see Figure 5.

444

trousers length

Measure vertically from the top of the waist along the side seam to the opening of the trouser

legs, see Figure 6

555

chest circumference

 Button up the button (or close the zipper), lay the front and back body flat, and measure horizontally along the bottom seam of the armhole (calculated by circumference), see Figure 7.

666

 waist circumference

  Button up the buttons (or close the zipper), skirt hooks, and trouser hooks. Spread the front and back body flat, and measure along the waist or at the top of the waist (calculated around the circumference), as shown in Figures 8 to 11.

777 888

shoulder width

 Button up the button (or close the zipper), lay the front and back body flat, and measure horizontally from the intersection of the shoulder and sleeve seams, see Figure 12.

999

collar width

 

Flatten the top of the stand-up collar horizontally, see Figure 13;

The lower opening of other collars, except special collars, see Figure 14.

100

sleeve length

 Measure the round sleeve from the highest point of the sleeve mountain to the middle of the cuff line, see Figure 15;

The raglan sleeves are measured from the middle of the back collar to the middle of the cuff line, see Figure 16.

101

hip circumference

 Button up the buttons (or close the zipper), skirt hooks, and trouser hooks. Spread the front and back body flat, and measure along the middle of the hip width (calculated based on the circumference), see Figure A.1, Figure A.5, Figure A.6, Figure A.8.

102

 Length of side seam

Flatten the front and back body, and measure along the side seam from the bottom of the armhole to the bottom edge, see Figure A.1.

 bottom hem circumference

Button up the buttons (or close the zipper), skirt hooks, and trouser hooks. Flatten the front and back body, and measure along the bottom edge (calculated around the circumference). See Figure A.1, Figure A.5, and Figure A.6.

103

back width

   Measure the sleeve seam horizontally along the narrowest part of the back of the garment, see Figure A.2 and Figure A.7.

104 105

 armhole depth

  Measure vertically from the center of the back collar to the lowest horizontal position of the armhole, see Figure A.2 and Figure A.7.

  waistband circumference

  Flatten the width (measured around the circumference) along the bottom edge of the belt. Elastic waistbands should be stretched to their maximum size when measured, see Figure A.3.

106

 Inside leg length

    Measure from the bottom of the crotch to the opening of the trouser leg, see Figure A.8.

107

 Straight crotch depth

   Measure vertically from the top of the waist to the bottom of the crotch, see Figure A.8.

 bottom leg hem circumference

  Measure horizontally along the opening of the trouser leg, calculated based on the circumference, see Figure A.8.

  shoulder length

 Measure from the highest point of the front shoulder seam on the left lapel to the intersection of the shoulder and sleeve seams, see Figure A.9.

  deep neck drop

  Measure the vertical distance between the center of the front collar and the center of the back collar, see Figure A.9.

108

Cuff width cuff circumference

 Button up the button (or close the zipper) and measure along the cuff line (calculated around the circumference), see Figure A.9.

 Sleeve fat biceps circumference

 Measure the distance perpendicular to the center of the sleeve along the widest point of the sleeve, through the intersection of the sleeve bottom seam and the armhole seam, see Figure A.9.

 Armhole length scye straight

 Measure from the intersection of the shoulder and sleeve seams to the bottom seam of the sleeves, see Figure A.9.
