WOMEN'S FIT GUIDE
BUST: Measure the fullest part of your bust.  WAIST: Measure around your natural waistline.  HIPS: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, eight inches below your waist.

FINISHED LENGTH: Measure from center front of waist to finished length, (hemline). Average finished skirt lengths-42", Petite-40", Tall-44".

LADIES BLOUSES: Order using bust measurement. Our ladies blouses are generously cut, should you fall into the lower measurement of any size, with average or small shoulders, we suggest ordering the next smaller size. If you are concerned about waist and hip measurements for a smaller size, simply provide us with these measurements, and we will check the design before cutting. Many times, for no additional charge, we can alter these areas if needed. For example, your bust measurement is 39 1/2, we would suggest a Medium rather than a Large. A Large would be designed to fit up to a 44" bust, and inches of fitting ease is then added to the blouse to achieve the correct silhouette, so a Large would be too big for this measurement. Please include measurements and any additional information in the comments section of our order process form, and we can assist you with a good fit.

MEASURING FOR WOMEN'S SKIRTS: All women's skirts are produced to the exact waist measurement provided to us when you place your order. We manufacture all our skirts in the range of Waist Sizes: 22" to 49". For example: 32" is the waist measurement you measured, measuring around your natural waistline. We would produce the skirt waistband to this measurement. PLEASE INCLUDE WAIST MEASUREMENT WHEN PLACING YOUR ORDER.
