    Hello, I'm wondering about the underwear recommendations. If the person always wears a padded bra, shouldn't that be worn during measurements as well? The reason I'm asking is that when a friend of mine had her wedding dress made she was asked what type of bra she was going to wear underneath, and the dress was fitted to suit it. Great video though, my boyfriend tried to take my measurements before we watched this and it was really hard.

    • @PatternLabLondon
      @PatternLabLondon  5 лет назад +12

      Hanna Larsson yes absolutely. The underwear does matter especially if you are creating garments that require a high level of fit. It also matters if the undergarments co trip or change the shape of the figure. A push up bra is a great example of this.

    Thank you so much

    • @PatternLabLondon
      @PatternLabLondon  2 года назад +1

      I'm not sure what measurement you are referring to. The "round chest measurement" might possibly refer to menswear, since we call it the chest measurement for men. This is the same as the bust measurement, used for women. It is taken by placing the tape measure across the largest part of the chest or over the nipples and measuring all the way around the body, making sure the tape measure is parallel to the ground at all times. I hope that helps?

      Generally, the bust dart is found by using the following formula:
      ((Bust - Rib cage)/100)* 45
      But everyone has a different formula. Once you have found the bust dart width you can then measure the dart width where the chest line intersects it. I hope this helps.

    Happy to discover this video. Now trying to order a pattern from you and you are asking for "custom Knee ease" and "ankle ease"? What does that mean? Is that the knee and ankle circumference? or distance from hip to knee/waist to knee etc. I am confused.

    • @PatternLabLondon
      @PatternLabLondon  8 месяцев назад

      The Lab generates automatic knee and ankle ease. You don't need to add anything, simply use the default ease provided.
      What is Ease?
      Ease in pattern making refers to the slight difference in measurement between the body and the garment. It's the extra room added to a pattern to ensure that the garment isn't skin-tight. Ease can be classified into different categories:
      Wearing Ease: This is the minimum amount of extra room required for comfortable movement. It ensures that the garment doesn't restrict the wearer's mobility.
      Design Ease: Design ease goes beyond comfort; it's the additional room added to create a particular look or style. For example, a loose-fitting, flowing dress may have more design ease than a tailored blazer.
      Seam Allowance: In addition to wearing and design ease, seam allowances are included to account for the fabric that's taken up by the stitching of the garment. These allowances can vary depending on the type of seam and the construction method.
      Understanding and applying ease correctly is crucial for achieving a good fit and the desired style in the finished garment. Pattern makers carefully calculate and distribute ease throughout the pattern to ensure the clothing is comfortable and looks as intended.Ease in pattern making refers to the slight difference in measurement between the body and the garment.

    What kind of marker do you use? Do you mark on the client's clothing?

    • @PatternLabLondon
      @PatternLabLondon  Год назад

      We'd normally measure the body without using a unitard. The client would be in underwear. If the client allows it you could mark on their skin using a non-permanent marker or an eyeliner pen. Basically, anything that the client is comfortable with.

    • @PatternLabLondon

      If your tummy or top hip measurement is larger than your hip measurement, use the (larger) top hip measurement for your hip measurement also. You could also increase the hip measurement ever so slightly to get a curve over the hip when the basic block is drafted. Hopefully that helps!

  • @ninavolante287
    @ninavolante287 4 месяца назад +1

    These measurements are useless or incomplete if you're designing knitting patterns. If you design knits two of the most important values are, obviously, underarm measurement (or undercut) and upper arm measurements, these 2 measurements really makes the difference (especially in women' garments) between a perfect fitting and a wrong, horrible fitting/draping, and in this video you don't say not even a word about these 2 very important measurements and how to take it. Anyway, is not a surprising thing, 'cause the importance of underarm and upper arm measurements is, very often, totally ignored by a lot of presumed "designers". Sorry if my English is not perfect, I hope you understand what I'm saying, anyway.

      Hi Nina, thanks for your comment.
      Unfortunately, we don't create basic blocks for knitwear garments. This measurement tutorial is designed to work specifically for our automated pattern drafting software. These are all the measurements we require to draft accurately fitting basic blocks. If the system required those measurements, then we would ask for the in the tutorial. The system actually calculates those measurements by subtracting the front and Back SNP to waist from the the armscye depth measurement. We generally try to limit the number of measurements that are required when measuring.
      Either way, I'm very sorry you found this free tutorial not to your liking.

    How do u measure the armhole?

    • @PatternLabLondon
      @PatternLabLondon  3 года назад +1

      Hi Rahael! To measure your true armhole, simply place a knitting needle up into your armpit. It must protrude out from the back of the arm hole. Next, trace an invisible line from the kintting needle across the to the centre back of the body. Finally, measure down from the nape of the neck to the invisible line. This measurment is the true armhole measurement. We add the three fingers to add ease to the armhole measurement, however, we will be redoing our tutorials in the future to coincide with the release of our new updated basic blocks.

      Village Cooking yeah pretty much. I know of home scanners made for the health industry that can take pretty accurate body scans but only horizontally around the body. There was also a company called zozo that used a mobile phone app and a special suit to record measurements, however, I think they have now stopped trading. The technology is available for full body scanning but often it is only available to companies that can afford the hardware (scanner) and universities that do research in this field. I’m sure this technology will be available at some point in the near future but nothing as far as I am aware is as good as taking measurements manually.

      Ha ha. No it’s definitely real. Visit our website to understand fully why we take these measurements and how they are used to create made to measure garments and basic blocks or slopers.

      If you are uncomfortable being touched, you should never go to a tailor. You have to know the body to dress it beautifully.

      I'm sorry you felt that way. At the time this was my partner and obviously we had no issues when creating the video. But quite possibly it is a good idea to get a same-sex person to take your measurements.
