Questions for the owner
- Skirt hem: is "1.5 up" a 1.5 in shorter hem? What is the current length, if you want it on file?
- Lining: Elsa mentioned something about lining. Which garment, and what did she ask for?
- Skirt due date: what date should go on the record?
- Neck and shoulder: are these the customer's body measurements, or the blazer's? I recorded them as body measurements, so please confirm.
What it does
Turns your rushed fitting notes and shorthand into a clear, organized measurement record for each garment. Keeps every number you wrote, shows what changes are planned, and flags anything unclear so nothing is guessed.
Use it when: Use when a tailor needs to turn messy fitting notes, jotted measurements, or shorthand from a fitting into a clean, organized measurement record for a customer file, such as "clean up my measurement notes," "write up this fitting," or "organize these measurements for the file."
