Excerpt from The Standard Work on Cutting Ladies Tailor-Made Garments

In custom cutting, the requirements and conditions are widely different from those which obtain in the wholesale trade. In the former there are presented an almost infinite variety of forms, the requirements of each of which must be adequately met by the method employed. Proportions alone are therefore insufficient for the custom cutter. For every average quantity there are two extremes between which the average has been established. For this reason there will always be a necessity for a comprehensive measurement of the parts into which the height and circumference of the whole may be properly divided.
