Choose one measurement method
A size name such as A2 or Medium is not a complete specification. Use a garment measurement chart, define whether each measurement is taken flat or around the body, and state the unit. Add a simple drawing showing the exact start and end points.
Keep body measurements separate
Body measurements help describe the intended wearer; garment measurements describe what must be made. Compression garments also need an agreed fit and stretch assessment. Do not mix body chest circumference and flat garment chest width in the same column.
Check fit across the range
An approved middle size does not automatically validate every size. Discuss which additional sizes need checking, especially for children, women’s cuts or an extended range. Review sleeve and leg length alongside torso proportions, rather than enlarging all dimensions by the same amount.
Lock the chart before bulk production
Record the chart version, sample reference, tolerances and any changes made after fitting. Keep pre-wash and post-wash measurements in separate columns. When reordering, state whether the earlier approved specification still applies or attach a revised chart.
