DRESS MEASUREMENT

The workflow

One set of measurements. Every brand, every client.

Measure once with a tape or your phone camera, keep a profile for yourself or for every client, and let the app work out the size for the brand in front of you. Dress Measurement is on iPhone and Android, for shoppers who want to stop guessing and for tailors who measure people all day.

Take each measurement once, with a tape or your camera

There are two ways into the app and they end in the same place. Enter a measurement by hand and an illustrated guide shows you where the tape goes, in centimetres or inches, whichever you picked for that measurement. Or run a Body Scan, which takes three photos with your phone camera and removes the background, and then draw a line across the photo at the exact point you want measured.

Nothing leaves your device to do any of this, and there is no account to create first. If you are new to tape work, the measurement guide covers each point in order.

Watch a measurement change over time

Every time you save a new value the old one is kept. Open List View and tap a measurement row, and you get a chart of that single measurement over one month, six months, a year or the whole history, with the first value and the current one side by side. It is the quickest way to see whether a waist is actually moving or whether two readings just disagreed.

For a tailor the same chart answers a different question: how much has this client changed since the last garment you cut for them.

Every saved value stays in the history.

Keep a profile for every body you measure

A profile holds one person's complete set of measurements under a name and an avatar you choose. Make one for yourself, one for each person in the house, or one for every client who walks in. Profiles never touch each other, so correcting a hem length on one leaves the rest alone.

The Free tier gives you 7 profiles on iPhone and Android. That is enough for a family, and not enough for the tailors and sewists in West Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia who open the app forty times a day, which is what the unlimited profiles in Tailor Shop are for. If that is your trade, the tailoring overview goes deeper; if you are here to shop, start with the shopper's view.

Get a size for the brand you are about to buy

Pick a brand and a garment category and the app compares your saved measurements against that brand's own published size chart, over 70 of them. You get a size and a confidence level with it: high when every measurement sits inside the range for that size, medium or low when at least one of them falls outside the range, so the size is the closest fit rather than a comfortable one and the neighbouring size is worth a look. Open the brand and you can see the individual measurements that produced it.

Size recommendations are free on every tier. That is deliberate. The full method, including what to do with a low result, is on the size recommendations page.

Share a measurement sheet as a PDF

Any profile turns into a formatted PDF: a labelled figure, the measurements grouped a page at a time, and the units they were taken in. Send it to a tailor in another city, print it for the workroom wall, or attach it to an order. PDF export is on the Free tier, on iPhone and Android.

CSV export, the flat file that opens in a spreadsheet or feeds pattern software, comes with Tailor Shop.

On iPhone and iPad your profiles also sync through iCloud, so the same measurements are on every Apple device you sign into. On Android, Cloud Sync does the same job as part of Tailor Shop; on the Free tier, export is how you move them.

Tailor Shop

Run the shop from the same measurements

Once the measurements are in, the rest of the job is admin: who ordered what, when it is due, what is still owed, and who needs telling. Tailor Shop puts that on top of the profiles you already keep, so an order knows whose body it is being cut for. The shop suite runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and every size recommendation works the same on every platform.

Orders pane beside a sidebar listing Clients, Orders, Schedule, Invoices and Settings, with a search field, cards reading 5 Active, $1,782.60 Due and 1 Today, four filter chips, and seven order cards laid out in two columns.

Keep each client's contact details beside their measurements Tailor Shop

A client is a profile with a phone number, an email address and a preferred way of being contacted attached to it. The grid sorts by name or by when you added them, and the search field finds anyone in it. On iPhone it is a scrolling grid; on iPad the same grid sits beside the tab sidebar.

Nothing here is shared anywhere. The details sit in your own copy of the app, and the clients help article walks through adding the first one.

Invoice from the order and record every payment Tailor Shop

An invoice starts from the order it belongs to, so the client, the garment and the price are already filled in. Add line items, set a tax rate, deduct a deposit, and the balance owed is worked out for you. Log each payment as it comes in and the balance drops with it. One switch at the foot of the invoice marks it settled.

The list leads with what is still owed on every invoice, with the total it was raised for beside it, which is the number you actually need at the end of a week. Your business name and details print at the top of each one. Invoicing is on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Schedule fittings, then tell the client Tailor Shop

Appointments group themselves by how soon they fall due, so today and tomorrow sit above this week, and this week above later. Each one can carry a reminder, and one tap copies it into your own calendar or sends the client an invite. The fitting is attached to the order, which means you never have to remember which garment it was for.

When it is time to tell someone, the app fills a message template from the order and the appointment and hands it to WhatsApp, Messages or Mail with the text already written, whichever that client prefers. Nothing goes out until you tap Send there. Scheduling and messaging are on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Custom measurements, references, photos, notes and CSV Tailor Shop

Some of what Tailor Shop unlocks is not a screen of its own: it is depth on the profile you already have. Draw a measurement the standard set does not cover and name it. Draw a reference line that carries no number, just a place you want to come back to. Attach photos with tags and captions, and free-text notes for anything that does not fit a field.

These four, plus CSV export for spreadsheets, pattern software and your cutters, are on iPhone, iPad and Android with Tailor Shop.

Common questions

The six things people ask before they download. Accounts, the free limits, what the camera does, and what the shop suite covers on Android. Longer answers to more of them live on the FAQ page.

Do I need an account to use Dress Measurement?

No. There is no sign-up, no password and no email address to hand over. Your profiles live on your device, and on iPhone they back up to your own iCloud account.

How many profiles does the free tier include?

Seven, and the number is the same on iPhone and on Android. Tailor Shop lifts the cap so you can hold a whole client book.

Is Body Scan included in the free tier?

Yes. Body Scan and the drawing tools that turn a scan into numbers are free on iPhone and Android, with no photo leaving your device.

Are size recommendations behind the subscription?

No. Every size recommendation, for every supported brand, is free on every tier. We would rather more people knew their size than charge for the answer.

Is the Tailor Shop suite available on Android?

Yes. Clients, orders, invoices, the fitting schedule and client messaging run on iPhone, iPad and Android. Size recommendations are free on every tier and every platform.

What can I export from the app?

Any profile exports as a formatted PDF measurement sheet on every tier. Tailor Shop adds CSV export for spreadsheets, pattern software and the cutters you work with.
