D.  Arm Length

Measure from the top of the shoulder along the outside of the arm to the bottom of the wrist bone.

E.  Inseam

Measure from the top of the inner leg along the inside to the ground. Take this measurement without shoes.

Sizing Tips

• One person should take all measurements for accuracy and consistency.
• Measure snugly, but not too tight.
• Measure over a snug fitting garment and any performance undergarments.
• Short, regular or long sizes refer to measurement changes in all of the following categories: torso length (girth), arm length, inseam and skirt length. If someone is an exception (i.e. regular torso but long inseam) please contact us.
• If your measurements are between sizes, size down! It is more difficult to make adjustments to a garment that is too small rather than too big.
• Satin Stitches cannot be held responsible for incorrect sizes chosen by the customer. If you have questions please reach out– we are happy to help!
