Taking Measurements
Please have someone measure you while wearing a well-fitting bra in a snug T-shirt or leotard/leggings. You must be measured over stays if ordering gowns or fitted jackets [pet-en-lairs, juste au corps, demi-robes, casaques or full robes, battante and robe à la française]. If you will be wearing other underpinnings such as panniers, measure carefully from the side waist over panniers and down to finished length of hem you desire.
At this point, please have pictures taken of yourself, either in jpegs or snapshot, showing full length and side view in the garments in which you were measured. As I will be «fitting» you virtually, these two images are critical.
