Measure the fell length of your pants down the side, starting from the very top. Measure down to the top of your foot, and where you would like your pants to end. You can also measure an existing pair of pants. Pants will be made to this exact measurement.
This measurement is different to the waist measurement you take for a shirt or jacket (around the stomach). The Pants Waist measurment is taken around your waist at the point where you normally wear your pants. Some people wear their pants high and others low. So first determine where on your waist your normally wear your pants, and then measure around the waist at that point. Note that you should not enter your pants size - this is different to the actual measurement. It is important that you take the actual measurement as show in the video.
Measure around the hip and buttocks at the widest point.
For this measurement, the tape measure needs to go through the legs. Start at the middle front of your pants waistline and run the tape measure under your legs round to the top of your buttocks. Finish the measurement at the center of your pants waistline.
This measurement varies a lot on the style of pants you want. Measure across the bottom hem of one of the legs of the pants. This will determine how tight your pants will be around your ankle. Note this measurement cannot always be followed exactly, as it depends heavily on your calf measurement. As we do not use stretchy fabrics, and must follow the contours of the pants pattern, we may have to make slight adjustments.
