Submitting measurements
Your studio requests measurements inside the project, you enter your numbers once, and the studio reviews each one. Here is how the request works, how to measure accurately, and exactly who can see your figures.
How a measurement request works
The studio starts the measurement sheet, not you. If you think measurements are needed and nothing has arrived yet, mention it in the project messages and the studio can send the request. When it does, the request appears on your project's Measurements card, in the unit the studio works in - Inches or Centimetres - with guidance next to each measurement.
The studio may also attach its own guides: notes, a how-to video link, and PDFs or photos under Measurement guides & photos. Start there before you pick up the tape.

What the studio may ask for
| Measurement | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Bust / Chest | Around the fullest part of your chest. |
| Waist | "Around your natural waist - the narrowest point, roughly level with your navel." |
| Hips | Around the fullest part of your hips. |
| Shoulder width | Across the back, shoulder point to shoulder point. |
| Sleeve length | Shoulder to wrist, for sleeved pieces. |
| Inseam | Inner leg, for trousers. |
| Garment length | The intended finished length of the piece. |
A studio can also add custom measurements specific to your piece, each with its own guidance. Follow the studio's instructions for each one rather than a generic chart - different garments are measured differently.
Measuring accurately
- Use a soft measuring tape, held snug but not tight.
- Measure over fitted clothing, not bulky layers.
- Ask someone to help - several measurements are hard to take alone.
- Do not guess. Use the studio's notes, video and photos for each measurement.
- Tell the studio about fit preferences - how much ease you like, modesty, comfort.
If a studio-side fitting or a local tailor takes your measurements, that professional is independent of Tailore unless the arrangement was expressly made by Tailore or the studio.
Review, corrections and approval
Enter your values and submit. The studio then reviews each measurement individually - each one moves through Requested, Submitted, Needs correction and Approved. A correction comes back with a note explaining what to re-measure, and an approved measurement is locked so production works from a fixed set of numbers.
Every change is kept in a history both you and the studio can see, so there is never a question about which value was submitted when.
Privacy and fit responsibility
As the product says next to your measurements: "Only you and the studio can see these." Measurements are never public, never used for advertising, and any measurement photos live in a private gallery. The Privacy Policy covers your data rights in full.
Accuracy matters - fit responsibility in short
If you provided inaccurate or outdated measurements despite clear instructions and the studio followed them, reasonable alteration or remake costs may fall to you. If the studio measured or transcribed wrongly, the studio should provide an appropriate remedy. The Custom Projects Policy has the details.
