Explore (Review and Motivation)

In the previous lesson, you have learned the different styles & parts of trousers
and fabric suited for trousers which are office wear worn by corporate women and that
they are made up of cotton, polyesters and wool and looking great with a formal blouse
and shirt.

Let us try the following activity to recall your knowledge and understanding
about Designs of Ladies Trousers

ACTIVITY 1 - WORD HUNT

DIRECTIONS: Find the words related to styles & parts of trousers and fabric suited for trousers in the
graph.
 In this lesson also, you will learn how to read, write and perform in
taking body measurements accurately. You will be able to analyze that
development of skill in making female trousers starts with the ability to read
and take body measurements.

Let’s find out and discover!

Learn (What is it/Discussion of the Topic)

TAKING BODY MEASUREMENTS

Measurements are the foundation of pattern drafting. They establish

basic axes which are natural to the body. These axes are then used to
reconstruct the shape of the body onto the paper. They must take with
complete accuracy.
Measurements can be taken without assistance, but the task is easier
when you have someone to help you.

RULES IN TAKING BODY MEASUREMENT

 Wear undergarments or bodysuit when measuring.

 Use tape measure that does not stretch.
 Tie a string around your natural waistline.
 Pull the tape snug, but not too tight.
 Be sure to keep the tape parallel to the floor.
 Take girth measurements, then length measurements.
 Ask the subject to stand in a relaxed, upright position in stocking feet.
 Insert two fingers in taking girth measurements.
 Record all measurements on a chart accurately.
BODY PARTS TO BE MEASURED IN MAKING TROUSERS

1. Waist.
2. High hip (3" down at side).
3. Hip at fullest part (7-9" below waist).
4. Distance at side from waist down to
fullest part of hip.
5. Pant length (waist to floor).
6. Thigh at fullest part.
7. Knee (1" above center).
8. Distance to knee from waist.
9. Crotch depth. Sit on a flat surface and
measure from waist to surface on side.

Note: Rise or Tiro meaning “Crotch”

NEEDED MEASUREMENTS
There are several parts of the body to be measured. These are taken in:

B. Circumferential measurement

A. VERTICAL MEASUREMENT
- The vertical measurement is taken from the top of the body figure to its
base.

OUTSIDE LENGTH – Taken from the waist down to

 the desired length, this measurement is taken at the
 side with a tape measure.




 RISE- Taken from the waist down to
 the crotch with the use of a tailor‟s
square.

RISE
OUTSIDE LENGTH
B. CIRCUMFERENTIAL MEASUREMENT
- The circumferential measurement is taken around the body.

Waist. Measurement taken around

the smallest part of the torso.

WAIST

SEAT OR HIP- Taken around the fullest part of

the second hip or buttock with a tape measure.
SEAT OR HIP

WIDTH OF KNEE- Taken from the back creaseline

to the front creaseline at the kneeline of the pants.

WIDTH OF KNEE

Width of bottom- taken at the bottom of pants

desired length.

WIDTH OF BOTTOM
 C. RISE MEASUREMENT

TECHNIQUES IN TAKING THE RISE MEASUREMENT:

1. Use a ruler and a tape measure.
2. Use a tailor’s square.
3. Have the person seated and take the measurement at the side, from the
waist down to the chair seat.

 ENGAGE (WHAT I have LEARNED/GENERALIZATIONS)

Body measurements are a prerequisite to pattern construction. The size and fit

of a garment depends upon the accuracy. At present, we are in the transition
between traditional manual measuring by tape measure and computerized body
scanning or using photographic systems.
Manual measuring requires a high degree of skill and is time consuming. The
techniques of body scanning are constantly improving and will supersede manual
methods in the future.
Whichever method is used, the first consideration is to decide which
measurements are required.
