Ensuring that your historical clothing fits perfectly is essential for both comfort and authenticity. At Mimirs Saum, we want to make this process as easy as possible for you. Follow these simple steps to take accurate measurements and enjoy the satisfaction of garments that fit just right.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Chest/Bust:

   • Stand straight with your arms relaxed at your sides.
   • Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping it parallel to the ground.
   • Breathe naturally and note the measurement.

2. Waist:

   • Locate your natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of your torso.
   • Hold the tape measure snugly around your waist, ensuring it’s not too tight.
   • Record the measurement as you breathe normally.

3. Hips:

   • Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
   • Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor and your feet together.
   • Write down the measurement.

4. Shoulder Width:

   • Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other, following the natural curve.
   • This measurement is crucial for ensuring comfortable arm movement.

5. Arm Length:

   • Bend your arm slightly at the elbow.
   • Measure from the shoulder point to the wrist bone.
   • This ensures sleeves are neither too short nor too long.

6. Length:

   • Tunic Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your knee or desired length.
   • Dress Length: Measure from the top of your shoulder down to your ankle or desired length.
   • Pants Length:
     • Bjorn and Ragnar Pants: Measure from the waistline down to the knee or desired length.
     • Leif Pants: Measure from the waistline down to the ankle or desired length.

Tips for Accuracy:

• Wear lightweight clothing or undergarments while measuring.
• Keep the tape measure snug but not tight.
• Take each measurement twice to ensure accuracy.
• If possible, have a friend assist you for best results.
