Find out how to measure for a fitted sleeve and what the standard measurements are if you cannot measure the wearer.
Credit: Blocks for fitted sleeve garments – standard measurements – were devised by Kathleen Kinder.
For an accurate individual fit it is important to take exact measurements for the points shown and use those to calculate the rows and stitches from your tension swatch.
NB The true underarm seam measurement is WQP not JST.
