How to Measure and Best Guide to Fit
Most popular and “In Style” measurement for what is now being called “THE WAIST (#6 below)” measurement, is actually the location of the natural “HIP” measurement. See Chart Below.

The measurements that I use are the “Old Fashioned/Granny Waist (# 4)” measurements. If you measure by the new styles of a “Low Rise” waist (Hip), your garment will not fit properly.
Since the garment(s)will only fit well if I have precise information to work from, please be 100% sure that you are giving me accurate measurements for each article of clothing you are ordering. Thank you.
You are more than welcome to place an order, but it will be started on, in the order it was received. For a quicker placement, please confirm your order by copying and pasting into e-mail, or ask for an Order Form in a returned E-mail. Thank you.
