  If your bust and waist measurements do not match with the same standard size then you might benefit from taking the full set of measurements in the tab below and having the top made to measure.

  Our made to measure service costs an additional £20 if you take your own measurements and send them to us and means we will custom make the bolero to your specific measurements. 

  If you would like to visit us at the Dig For Victory shop in Brighton to be measured and to then have a fitting when the top is complete, this will cost £40, or if you are ordering a made to measure dress at the same fitting the top will be included in the dress fee. 

• "Made to Measure" Info

  Below are the full set of measurements that we would need to tailor make the bolero. There is a diagram at the bottom to help show how to take them.

  Overbust - Take this around your chest above your bust, with the tape measure going under each armpit and around your back and meeting at the front.

  Bust - This is not the same as your bra size, take this around the fullest part of your bust, taken whilst wearing whatever type of bra you would normally wear under the dress. Take the tape measure around the back and meet at the front.

  Underbust measurement - Take this around the ribcage just under the bust

  Natural waist - It is important that this measurement is taken at the smallest part of your waist, this is normally 1 or 2 inches above your belly button. This may be higher than where you are used to wearing your clothing. Our dresses are a vintage style fit, which sits higher on the waist compared to most modern clothing.

  Low Waist - This is around the circumference of your tummy, approximately 1 inch below the belly button

  Shoulder seam to underbust - Take this from the top of your shoulder with the tape measure going over the middle of one breast to the bottom of your bra (see photo) This is to make sure that the top of the waistband sits snugly just underneath your bust

  Underbust to Natural Waist -  This measurement is taken from underneath your bust, where you took the previous measurement to. You can use the under wiring of your bra as a starting point and take it down to where you took the natural waist measurement (this is where the ribbon comes in handy!)

  Shoulder width - This should be taken straight across the back of the shoulders, from the corner of one shoulder to the corner of the other. Please try to do this without curving the tape measure around the sides of the arms.

  

  These tops are designed to be close fitting but with juts enough ease to wear it over another garment and there is no stretch in the fabric. Please let us know if you commonly encounter any fit issues with this type of garment (for example if you have a curved back or shoulders and find jackets often feel too tight in that area or if you often find sleeves or armholes too snug for comfort). This will also help us identify any inaccuracies in the measurements.
