Body Measurement

Body Measurement refers to the precise set of physical measurements taken directly from the human body to determine accurate garment sizing, fit, and proportion. These measurements typically include bust, waist, hip, shoulder width, sleeve length, inseam, outseam, rise, thigh, armhole, and other key dimensions depending on the garment type.

At Megaya Bali, body measurements form the foundational reference point for pattern making, grading, and sample development, ensuring that every garment follows the intended fit and comfort level.

Why It’s Important
Body measurements are essential because they:
– Ensure accurate fit, making garments comfortable, flattering, and true to the desired silhouette

– Provide a reliable base for pattern drafting and size chart creation

– Guide grading, enabling proportional adjustments across size ranges

– Reduce fit issues, minimizing resizing, sampling delays, and product returns

– Support consistent production, ensuring each batch aligns with the intended sizing standard

– Help achieve brand fit identity, creating a signature fit customers can trust

Without accurate body measurements, patterns may be incorrect, sizing inconsistent, and the final garment may not match the designer’s intended look or feel.

How Body Measurement Works at Megaya Bali
Megaya Bali utilizes detailed body measurement data at every stage of the product development and production process.
1. Measurement Collection
Clients provide body measurements or measurement charts for their target customer
Measurement guidelines or diagrams may be referenced to avoid misinterpretation
For more technical products (e.g., activewear, uniforms, tailored garments), additional precision points may be included

2. Pattern Development
Pattern makers use body measurements as the base foundation for creating the first block pattern
Adjustments are made to match garment type, intended ease, and design silhouette

3. Ease & Fit Considerations
Suitable ease (wearing or design ease) is added based on the garment category
Measurements are balanced to ensure comfort, mobility, and style accuracy

4. Sampling & Testing
Fit samples are evaluated against the initial body measurements
Any adjustments to proportions or ease are made during the sampling stage

5. Quality Control Alignment
QC teams compare measurements of finished garments with the approved spec derived from body measurements
Ensures accuracy before bulk production and shipment

Megaya Key Advantages of Using Accurate Body Measurements
Megaya Bali’s approach to integrating body measurements ensures:
– Precise fit, improving comfort, proportion, and appearance

– Reduced sampling revisions, speeding up development timelines

– Accurate grading, ensuring size ranges remain proportional and true to brand standards

– Lower return rates, thanks to consistent and reliable sizing

– Improved customer satisfaction, as garments fit the way they were intended

– Stronger brand identity, especially for labels prioritizing unique or signature fits

– Seamless production consistency, maintained through documented measurement standards

At Megaya Bali, body measurements are treated as a critical foundation of professional garment engineering. By establishing clear, accurate, and well-managed body measurement standards, we ensure every pattern, sample, and production batch meets the fit expectations that define your brand’s quality and identity.
