Measurements
Getting the measurements right is a very important process when ordering from us.
Every item we make is made to measure and based on your exact measurements.
when taking measurements always remember a golden rule. You should be able to wrap the tape measure around certain areas, for example the calf. Then you should be able to move the tape measure up and down freely without stopping. This then means you have the widest point of that area, which is perfect for what we need.
We always advise that you try and get help to take measurements as having another pair of eyes and hands to do the measuring really helps you get better results.
We have a PDF and a WORD document available to fill in with measurements when you order and if you can please them to us in CM. If you send them through in inches we will have to convert every single one and send them back to you to check, so please help us and you to avoid such a lengthy check process.
If you are worried about the measurements then we offer this advice: Try and get as many photographs as you can that show the tape measure being held against that particular area - and send us those photographs via email as having photographs showing the measurements can really help the process of creating items that fit perfectly.
