Creating Garment Measurments

This is way simpler than you think. Because the work has already been done for you.

The easiest way to create your own garment measurements is to go out and buy a full-size run (x-small small, medium, large, x-large) from a competitor.

Then, take note of how much each garment increases from size to size.

No need for expensive and hard-to-use computer programs

Just use good old-fashioned Excel to organize everything!
