How to Take Your Measurements
You are able to provide your measurements either via your profile page on your account or here.
Each Vercusta custom apparel garment, made to your precise measurements, is designed to complement your unique body, lifestyle and tastes. Our unparalleled attention to detail distinguishes the Vercusta brand, ensuring impeccable fit and one-of-a-kind style. Since each Vercusta garment is made to your exact measurements, the days of searching for clothing to fit your specific body type is now a thing of the past. Our easy-to-use online process will have you set up with your own measurement profile within 10 minutes. All you need is a tape measure and a buddy to take the measurements. We will take care of the rest.
Run the measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, around your shoulder blades, and closely under your armpits. Keep a comfortable relaxed stature so as to not skew the measurements. Do not overly inflate your chest or arch your back.
This measurement should not be confused with waist measurements performed when purchasing pants. Run the measuring taped around the fullest part of your belly. The tape should fit well around your waist without pinching. Stand naturally, being careful to not suck in your belly.
Run the measuring tape around the fullest part of your buttocks and your front. The measuring tape should be snug but not squeezing too tightly.
This step will require a partner. Alternatively, you can refer to a shirt that fits well at the shoulders. Begin measuring at the outside edge of the shoulder where the yoke of the shirt will start (think about where the horizontal part of the back of your shirt meets the arm). When beginning the measurement, you can feel where the bony part of your shoulder meets the flesh part of your arm. Take the measuring tape and create a light arch over the span of your shoulders to finish your measurement at the opposite side of the shoulder.
This step will require a partner. Alternatively, you can refer to a shirt that fits well at the sleeves. Run the measuring tape from the edge of your shoulders to the top of your hand (think about where the base of your thumb begins). Do not account for shrinkage. We will take care of that for you.
Place the measuring tape around the neck at the height the top of your collar will normally meet, just below your Adam's apple. Keep you neck in a natural position. The measuring tape should be close to your skin, not too tight. Place one finger between your neck and the tape measure in order to ensure a comfortable fit.
Measure the circumference of your wrist around your wrist bone, rounding up to the nearest quarter inch. Our seamstresses will add extra space to this measurement in order to ensure a comfortable cuff circumference.
Measure around your bicep at its fullest point with your arm hanging relaxed at your side. Round up to the nearest half-inch.
Measure at the back of your neck (where the bottom of your collar would normally rest) to where you want the shirt to end. This is typically toward the bottom of your buttocks. For shirts that will normally be tucked in, you may measure a little below. For shirts that will normally be un-tucked, end the measurement where you preferentially like your shirts to rest.
