Crotch length- 26.0cm

Hi Damar, thank you for the measurements.
Kindly measure the following again taking the tape measure round the body.
Bust
Waist
Hips
For the outseam measurement, place the tape measure upside down if measuring yourself to avoid errors due to bending.
Once I have these measurements and the deposit I can begin the work.
Thank you.
Hips - 108.5cm
Waist - 76.0cm
Bust - 89.0cm
Outer seam - 105.0cm
Great, Thank you.
Dear Nyambura, are the measurements okay? Let me know if I need to re-do the measurements. Thank you.
Hi Damar, the measurements are okay and thank you for the deposit. I received it yesterday.
Hi Damar, please see the attached photos of the fabric. I'll be using Cotton Satin with stretch, for the body as the Matte Satin was not available in peach and sheer embroidered lace for the top layer of the bodice.
Dear Marian,
Thank you for the images. I don't know if it is the screen resolution but the peach is darker than the image inspiration. Could you take the photo on natural light minus the flash?
Hi Damar, you're welcome. The peach is darker than the one in the image as the lace fabric to match that shade is not available. Here are the photos taken in natural lighting.
Dear Damar, please see the attached photos on the progress so far.
Dear Damar, please see the attached photos on the progress.
Dear Damar, please see the attached photo of the jumpsuit. Thank you.
Hi Damar, following our phone conversation, I will make the adjustments to change the sleeves and make the trousers slim fitting.
Dear Nyambura, thank you for the update. I would like to see some pictures too 🙂
Hi Damar, please see the attached photos of the completed jumpsuit after making the requested changes.
Thank you.
