The information provided in this manual is meant to provide a basis for measuring and does not reflect every case or possibility. When a special case arises, the PCT pattern maker will provide detailed information to the factory regarding how to measure. •For example, if there is a side insert and there is no “true” underarm point, it is difficult to use the standard “2.0 cm below the armhole” measurement. In this case, the PCT pattern maker will provide a measurement distance from the hem. If nothing is provided in the spec, then the factory should contact PCT with a suggestion. It is important that the factory and PCT work together on finding the best solution for measuring special cases. 4 e-room/Manuals/how to measure Importance of accurate measuring: It is very important that garments are measured correctly. If a garment is not correctly measured, this can negatively affect fitting and the adjustments made: •For example: A garment has a hem width spec of 110.0 cm. The garment is incorrectly measured at 108.0 cm but the garment actually measures true to the spec at 110.0 cm. During the fit session, it is decided that the garment is too big at the hem opening. The PCT pattern maker makes an adjustment (believing that the garment measures 108.0 cm) and adjusts the spec to 106.0 cm. The factory makes this adjustment and the next sample is too small. If the garment had been measured correctly, the PCT pattern maker would have made the correct spec adjustments. Now PCT will have to adjust the hem opening again to achieve the correct fit. • ACCURATE MEASURING IS CRITICAL! 5 e-room/Manuals/how to measure Benefits of accurate measuring: Adjustments/pattern changes made during the fittings are correct Fewer pattern changes are required throughout the development process Garments can be FIT APPROVED more quickly 6 e-room/Manuals/how to measure 2.
