 Measurements of Most of the Garments, Taking Thine Own Measurements

If you have any questions about how to take a certain measurement, please never hesitate to call or email us.Please do not take inches off of areas that you feel sensitive about! We are not out to judge your body type, only to make you feel wonderful in your custom-made clothing. Take the exact measurements that you are right now... if you lost weight, it will be easier to alter your clothing later, when the weight loss occurs.

Note: Not all of the measurements here are necessary for what you are ordering. At the bottom of the page is a list of most of the garments that we make, along with the letters of the measurements that we will need from you. (If you tend to order clothing from us frequently, you may as well complete the entire chart and we will keep it on file so that you do not need to fill this out every time.)

You should print this page out and fill out the chart at your leisure. You may then either fax or Send the completed form to us, call (+92) 052-3258398, or mailto:sales@mglind.com . (If you use email, you may use just the letters next to the individual measurements, instead of having to type them all out.)
