Dress Blues blouses
are sized like men's suit jackets. Visiting a men's clothing store
and trying off-the-rack sports jackets is an easy way to find a size
that fits.
Chest Size: With
arms relaxed and at the sides, place tape measure around fullest
part of the chest (usually just under the armpits), keeping the tape
up under the arms and across the shoulder blades. The tape should be
straight and level across back. Insert a finger between the tape and
body to insure a comfortable fit. Measure while wearing an undershirt.
When in doubt, go up a size which will allow a tailor to take the
blouse in.
Blouse Length: Measure
along the back, from the bottom of the neck to just below the crotch.
33" = Extra
Long (XL)
32" = Long (L)
31" = Regular (R)
30" = Short (S)
29" = Extra Short (XS)
Standard neck/collar
size is 18". Neck size should be measured around the neck,
at the adam's apple.
Most sizing problems involve ordering
a size that is too small. It is rare that we get a request to return
an item that is too large.
When in doubt, go up a size. It's easier
for a tailor to take away a little material than to try to add it. |
