The idea from Franziska from Erlangen:
The blazer should not be too short and slightly fitted, be able to be closed with a button or hook and have patch pockets. The shorts should have a slightly wider leg and reach about mid-thigh. The long pants should be straight cut and about 7/8 length. Both pants should have side pockets in the front and indicated pockets in the back. Also, they should not be high waist, but should go about to the belly button.
The fabric should not be too thin, but also not too tight.
The customer's rating:
I was very happy about the delivery, the things look great too. The blazer fits very well. The pants unfortunately both do not fit - the shorts are too tight at the top, the long pants I get to but they are sewn quite tight overall. Since the fabric is not very stretchy, I can't really sit in the pants.
I'm still satisfied per se, I guess it just can't be guaranteed that everything will fit even by the measurements. Thank you very much!

Hi Hannah,
wasn‘t 100% sure about all measurements but here is what I got:
- Bust 80cm
- Shoulders 97cm
- Waist 69cm
- Bodice length back (wasn’t sure what exactly is meant by that - took the measure from shoulder seam to end on the back) 61cm
- Bodice length front (wasn’t sure what exactly is meant by that - took the measure from shoulder seam to end on the front) 64cm
- Jacket length (total from collar to end on the back) Jackenlänge 66cm
- Sleeve lenght (from shoulder seam) 61cm
- Hip 98cm
- Crotch Depth 24cm
- Length Shorts 41cm
- Length Trousers 98cm
- Thigh (wasn’t sure where/how to measure exactly - took the circumference at the middle of the thigh) 51cm
Hope this is alright! If I did something wrong or you need other measurements, just let me know. Thanks a lot!
Franzi
Yes, Actually, the pocket flaps itself would be enough - there doesn‘t need to be a real pocket beneath it. I think that is also how it is done in the example picture of the blazer I sent?
Production phase
Thank you so much Hannah! I'm really looking forward to the parts 🙂
👍🏻
Hi Hannah, the 97cm as shoulder measurement was measured all around. I have now remeasured on a well-fitting jacket that I already have. From shoulder to shoulder at the back measured are 40cm.
I've sent a few photos

Hi Hannah,
the pictures look great and it was so fast! I am very excited to try it on, thank you so much!!!
This is Vicky, the local operations manager. Hope you are well. I received your product from Hannah and would like us to do the quality check together to ensure everything is as you requested.
So I took measurements of the different parts of the whole outfit to compare against the measurements that you had sent to Hannah and realised a few variances in the measurements; I will share photos here.
Now, while looking at the measurements you sent, I discovered that we are almost if not exactly the same size. Below are my measurements;
Height - 155cm
Bust- 81cm
Waist-69cm
Bodice length (back)- 58cm
Bodice length (front)- 64cm (The bodice lengths were taken according to the t-shirt I am wearing in the photos)
Arm length from shoulder to wrist - 58cm
Hip- 98cm
Crotch depth- 24cm
Thigh- 51cm
Assuming that you took your exact measurements with only a small allowance then we should be the same size. So I tried on your outfit and the jacket was okay except for the sleeves being a bit too short, although this could have also been a fashion statement attempt by the tailor. You can see from the photos and videos below how the outfit looks on me and decide whether you want adjustments or not. The pants were only a little bit tight around the hips, but the shorts on the other hand were too tight around the waist.
Below are the measurements of the outfit itself as shown in the photos shared:
- Bust 87.6cm
- Shoulders 40cm
- Waist --- pants-71cm, shorts-67.6cm
- Bodice length back (took the measure from shoulder seam to end on the back) 62cm
- Bodice length front (took the measure from shoulder seam to end on the front) 62.5cm
- Jacket length (total from collar to end on the back) 62.5cm
- Sleeve length (from shoulder seam) 56.7cm
- Hips---- pants- 98.5cm, shorts-90.5cm
- Crotch Depth---- pants-27cm, shorts 24cm
- Length Shorts 41cm
- Length Trousers 98cm
- Thigh---- pants-53cm, shorts-53.5cm

Hi Vicky,
thanks for the photos, they are very helpful!
The long pants look very good to me. The sleeves from the jacket really seem a bit short. I don't know how easy it would be to lengthen them though? If that were easily possible.
The shorts also seem very tight to me. At the waist, but also the leg itself. I had imagined it more like the example picture I sent along. Since the leg is quite wide. Possibly there was a misunderstanding with the measurements?
Could these two things be reworked again? That would make me very happy. Otherwise it looks great! Thank you very much!
Let me talk to my partner and I'll have feedback for you tomorrow

Ok thank you
I received your re-done outfit and would like to share photos of how they turned out. The shorts are a bit loose now so they fit, and the jacket’s sleeves were also lengthened using a different shade of blue material. Kindly take a look and let us know what you think.
Regards,
Vicky.
Hi Vicky,
It looks good to me now. Thanks for the changes, looking forward to it!
Many greetings
