Name or Description of Costume:

Sizes: Alright, here's where I become the costume nazi. Fill out what you know and don't lie or you'll get a garment that doesn't fit. (A comfortably-fitting size twelve is a lot more flattering than a size eight that's bursting at the seams, I promise.)

Hat size:

Shirt (n/s) or blouse size:

Pants size:

Jacket or dress size:

Shoe size:

Measurements: Have a friend do these for you -- I've tried to do them on myself and it just doesn't work. And use a sewing-style tape measure (available at fabric stores or Wal-Mart, or ask your grandmother), no a carpenter's metal one -- they don't bend well and there's a risk of nasty cuts. I probably won't need all of the measurements, but it never hurts to have them handy just in case. If you have any questions, please contact me. And again, we're all grownups here -- be honest about your body and you'll get a garment that fits.

*Waist -- Several professional costumers tie a piece of elastic or string, ribbon, whatever, around the waist of the victim. It will naturally sit on their waist proper, and will sit level all the way around.

**Inseam -- Have the victim hold the end of the measuring tape comfortably in his/her crotch, approximating the start of an inseam.

***Arm measurements -- First, hold your dominant arm out in front of you like a zombie, parallel to the ground, then, keeping the upper arm still, bend the forearm at a right angle, like you're looking at your watch. Do all four measurments from there.
