CREATING YOUR PERSONAL ARTICLE
TAKING MEASUREMENTS
To take measurements you need another person to help you and a tape measure. Taking measurements on your own can result in inaccuracies and, as a result, a poorly fitting garment. Please measure while wearing a leotard or underwear and make sure that you stand in a natural straight position for all measurements. The tape measure should be snug at the body, allow no extra room, with no strain on the tape measure.
FABRIC COLOURS
I decided not to have a stock of my own fabrics because that gives me the possibility to offer you a wide range of different colours to choose from.
After you have placed your order I will organize the correct amount of fabric especially for you. In my opinion this is also the most sustainable way, to let you choose from a wide range of colours without having a dead stock of fabrics.
BODY HEIGHT: measure the height from the top of the head to the floor (without shoes).
CHEST: make sure the tape measure is level, parallel to the ground, around the fullest part of the chest. Take care to ensure that the tape measure is level at the back it tends to drop down.
WAIST: measure the waist where the body bends, when bending sideways.
HIPS: measure level around the fullest part of the bottom.
GIRTH: from the top of one shoulder going down the body through the crotch, and up the back to the shoulder point where you started.
ARM LENGTH: starting at the shoulder tip going down to your elbow and past it to the end of your wrist.
OUTSEAM: measure from the waist down to the ankle.
MATERIAL
I work with high quality fabrics made in Italy, which are OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified.
For your personal order you can choose between matt or shiny Lycra in various colours.
In addition to that you can also choose if you would like your leotard in a basic or premium version. The premium version offers you the advantage of a lining inside. The lining is smooth and pleasant to the skin, absorbs sweat and makes the leotard even more long lasting.
