Submit your measurements


IMPORTANT INFORMATION
 

Dalynnja Le Clerq Couture needs your body measurements to tailor the piece of clothing you have chosen.

It is important that you measure everything over your underwear. DO NOT measure yourself over your clothes. Then there is a good chance that the sizes are not correct and that the garment becomes too big. The tape measure should not be too tight or too loose, just fitting over your body.

 

The attached photos and descriptions will help you with the process and get your perfect size.

 

THINGS YOU NEED
 

* a tape measure

* if you have someone who could help you, it would be best. Because it's easier to get the precise measurements that way. Some measurements are very hard and almost impossible to measure by yourself, for example;  your back length. 

 

TIPS & TRICKS
 

Padded bras, corset or shapewear can make a lot of difference. So make sure to measure yourself over the underwear you wear most often.

Since many sizes are based on your waistline, it is recommended to put an elastic or ribbon around your waist so you know exactly where to measure for the other sizes.

 

In case your measurements seem wrong or unrealistic, you will be contacted by the owner of Dalynnja Le Clerq Couture; Dalynnja de Klerk.
