Measurements for Garb The World

We need actual measurements from a tape measure. For example when ordering pants do not give us your jean measurements. Those measurements tend to be smaller than your actual measurement.

For your arm measurement we need the measurement from the top of your shoulder to your wrist. Do not use dress shirt measurements.

If you do not have a tape measure, you can take your measurements with a piece of string and a ruler. Just use the string to make the measurement, and then measure the string. It is best if you do not take your own measurements, however if you do then use a wall to record height and leg length, and then measure the wall.

All of our measurements are in inches. Here's a handy webpage to to convert centimeters to inches.

Please let us know if you have any questions or difficulties.

Fit of the garments

At Garb the World our clothing is designed to have an average amount of "ease" (i.e. roominess).

Before you order, check out our tables showing the amount of ease for each size of our Dresses, Robes, Roman Tunics, Tunics.

Our pants are designed to fit somewhat loosely, one size smaller will fit close, and one size larger will be a baggy fit.
