Many body measurements are important to building a balanced, well-fitting garment. You want your model to stand up straight, with shoulders and hips parallel with the ground and feet about shoulder width apart. CB - Center Back: refers to the center back of a garment or body, along the spine. CF - Center Front: refers to the center front of a garment or body from the hollow at the bottom of the neck straight down.

Across Shoulder - measured from shoulder socket to shoulder socket. Sometimes it can be helpful to have the model raise and then lower their arms so you can feel the socket joint. CB Neck to Waist - measured vertically from the C7 vertebrae to the natural waist along the spine. Well, I have my own lingo- sorta, not really.

I use standard garment industry terms because that's the language I use on a daily basis. Some terms make sense others have been grandfathered in with all their weirdness "punch bunny" anyone? Terms like HPS I just can't rework for mass appeal. It would feel off to me and I think it is actually pretty useful. Shoulder to Shoulder: measure across the back of the garment along the shoulder seams from the outside edge of one shoulder to the outside of the other. The sweep is the circumference of the bottom hem of a skirt, dress, coat, or jacket.

For a jacket or coat, measure the sweep across the bottom hem from open edge to open edge. For a skirt or dress, measure the sweep by laying the garment flat with seams matched, measure end to end, then double. Measure from the back high point of shoulder seam or from the natural shoulder fold straight down to the bottom of garment, keeping the tape measure parallel to center back.

Measurements are in inch. High Point Shoulder HPS is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem of the shirt.
