Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Does anyone know a local dressmaker who would be happy to take measurements only?

I'd like to order a dress online and I don't trust myself to measure properly, and I would pay for his/her time of course, since I wouldn't be paying him/her to make the actual dress.

Try asking Rosie, contact details here:

I've done a dressmaking class with her and she is very good.

 

You're right it's quite hard to measure yourself as you have to bend over and that messes up the measurements. But it's very possible to do it with an able assistant.

It's simply a matter of measuring the wide bits and the slim bits and the distance between them. Pay a girlfriend 1 x glass of wine to help you and it'll be perfect.

I also measure similar garments which fit me well and use those measurements sometimes

There's a very comprehensive factsheet here
