Made to Measure Dress Shirts

A made to measure dress shirt is one that fits perfectly, not only in the standard areas but also in regards to bicep size, hip size, shoulder breadth and the other minutiae that separate a custom made dress shirt from the common off the rack variety.

What Is Measured For A Made To Order Dress Shirt?

With a standard dress shirt you purchase based on neck size and sleeve length. The difference with a made to order dress-shirt is far more is taken into account since a person is made of a lot more than a neck and arms. The result is a custom shirt that is precisely fitted to your body not just your neck and your arms and speaks of elegance. The following are measurements you might provide to obtain the most perfect fit and to achieve the effect you want with your made to order dress-shirt.

• Neck - The standard neck measurements apply with even a made to order shirt and instructions for obtaining an accurate measurement are always available on online ordering sites.
• Chest - Chest area measurements are important to obtain a dress shirt that fits only one person.
• Waist - Waist measurements allow the shirt to taper to fit the body not hang or cling
• Hips - Even tucked in a well fitted shirt should not bag or be tight around the hips
• Shirt Length- This measurement ensures the made to order dress shirt is neither too long nor too short because every detail counts with a quality dress-shirt
• Shoulders - Sometimes shoulder areas are hard to fit in off the rail dress shirts but a made to order dress-shirt is constructed to accommodate the shoulder width of the individual.
• Arm Length - This is a standard measurement that will fit your arm exactly not approximately
• Fitting - The fit can be slim, regular or loose, and larger bodied individuals may find the loose fit more comfortable because it allows more room to move while athletically built men might prefer a slim fit.

What else?
Made to order dress shirts are just that, and you select your fabric, your pattern or texture and you also choose the style of collar, cuffs and any extras such as monograms or pockets or even short sleeves for the tailored athletic look. Once you have selected the style of your shirt and all the details you can settle back and expect a shirt that is not made for just anyone but made exactly for you.
