What is Dress Measurement?

Dress Measurement is a body measurement and size recommendation app for iPhone and Android. You can capture measurements two ways: manually with a tape measure, or using Body Scan, where you scan yourself with your phone camera and then draw on the screen at the exact points you want measured. Both methods are free on every tier. The app stores measurements in organized profiles, gives you instant size recommendations across 70+ supported clothing brands, and exports your data as PDF or CSV. It is built for tailors who need a client measurement book as well as for online shoppers who want to stop guessing their size.

Is the app free?

Yes. The Free tier is genuinely free and includes manual measurement entry, Body Scan with your phone camera, size recommendations across all supported brands, iCloud backup on iPhone, PDF export, and up to 7 profiles on iPhone (7 on Android).

Does it sync across devices?

On iPhone, Dress Measurement uses iCloud to sync profiles and measurements across all your Apple devices automatically. Advanced iCloud sync settings are available on the Tailor Shop tier. Android currently stores data locally on the device; cloud sync for Android is on the roadmap.

How do size recommendations work?

You enter your measurements once, then navigate to the Size Recommendations screen and pick a brand and clothing category. The app compares your measurements to the brand's size chart and tells you the best matching size with a confidence level: high (all measurements within range), medium, or low. The algorithm uses the same logic for both iPhone and Android, and the brand size chart data is the same on both platforms. See the size recommendations page for a full explanation.
