Ways to provide measurements​

This view has different ways that you can provide measurements:

  • Choose one of your own measurements set
    Use this to select one of the measurements sets stored in your own FreeSewing account.
  • Choose one of the measurements sets you have bookmarked
    Choose this to use a measurement set you have bookmarked, which can be either one of your own, or a public measurements set from another FreeSewing user.
  • Choose one of Freesewing’s curated measurements sets
    Choose one of the measurements sets from the list we curate.
  • Load a measurements set by ID
    If you know the ID of the measurements set you want to use, you can load it this way. If it’s not one of your own measurements sets, it needs to be a public set for this to work.
  • Edit measurements by hand
    Regardless of what option you choose, this allows you to edit all measurements by hand.
