School uniform sizes should be evaluated according to the cut of the product and the size chart used. The same age or the same letter size does not represent the same measurement for every model. From primary school to high school, there are differences in height, shoulder, and torso among students. When submitting a school uniform request to Forma Marketim, you can ask for the measurement details of the chosen model and prepare the size distribution using this information.
Distinguishing between product measurements and body measurements
One chart might list chest circumference, while another might list the width between the two sides of a garment laid flat. These two values should not be read in the same way. Choosing a size without understanding the measurement point can lead to incorrect results. Learning from the person sharing the chart whether the values belong to the body or the garment prevents recurring confusion, especially in bulk orders.
Taking measurements from a comfortable top
The width and length can be checked by laying a similar top that the student wears comfortably on a flat surface. The garment should be measured without stretching, and the starting and ending points should be matched with the chart of the selected product. When taking measurements for a polo shirt or sweatshirt, direct comparisons should not be made with different types of products. The measurement of a flexible or differently cut garment does not guarantee the same feeling of comfort.
Checking height, sleeves, and shoulders
Having an appropriate chest width alone does not indicate that the entire product is the correct size. The upper length, sleeve length, and shoulder line should be evaluated together. The behavior of the product can be examined when the student sits down or raises their arms. If you are considering leaving room for growth, the balance between movement and appearance should be maintained without choosing an excessively large size. The same amount of room should not be assumed for every student.
Separate measurements for bottom pieces
For sets that include shorts or sweatpants, the waist, hips, and length are checked separately. Automatically selecting the bottom piece based on the top size may cause incompatibility for some students. If different top-bottom size combinations are required, the available options should be requested. It must also be clarified while reading the chart whether the waist measurement is given in a relaxed or stretched state.
Organizing the bulk size list
When preparing the list, the product name, size, and quantity can be kept in separate columns. The sizes of different models should not be confused. For the same student, a different size may be chosen for a daily top and a sports uniform. When creating the final list, total quantities are checked and the size chart used is saved. You can request measurement information before ordering from Forma Marketim by specifying the model needed for your school.
Standardizing units in the measurement list
When measurements are collected from multiple people, some values may arrive as centimeters and others as size labels. This information should not be kept in the same column. First, it should be explained which measurement everyone should report according to the chart of the selected product. If the garment is measured while laid flat, stating this prevents it from being confused with circumference measurements. If the size selection is to be made later, the measurement and the chosen size can be kept in separate fields. This simple distinction makes it easier to understand why a student is placed in a specific size and helps to check for incorrectly entered values in the list.
Reading the size chart checklist
- Whether the measurement belongs to the garment or the body
- Clarity of centimeters and measurement points
- Checking width, length, and sleeves together
- Choosing a separate size for each product
Are chest width and chest circumference the same?
No. The width of a garment laid flat and the body or garment circumference are different measurement methods. The chart description should be read and values obtained by the same method should be compared.
