Taking Measurement- Need a Graphic Chart

Taking Measurement- Need a Graphic Chart
« on: January 06, 2019, 07:24:02 AM »
I've got several different resources for taking and writing down measurments,  but I'm not happy with any of them. They all measure something a bit differently, or record in a different style. I'd like to make my own record sheets that apply to different situations. Making appropriate lists is the easy part, but I'd like to have a customizable graphic chart- the kind that shows a body with markings to demonstrate how the measurement was taken. I can find plenty on-line with measurements already illustrated and lines all over for pointing and writing on, but like the list types, none of them are exactly what I want. Can anyone direct me to a body graphic that is totally blank of lines which I can use to create custom charts?

Hi Wendy … are you perhaps just looking for a croquis? I would be happy to send you mine if that's what you are looking for, but I am sure if you google 'croquis' or 'fashion croquis' that you should find something. If not then let me know...

Are you looking for something like this?

I found this on Pinterest, but couldn’t put the link in. It’s a free download.

@mammafairy I use a photo of myself to draft designs on.  That way I can see if they will be suitable for me.  Better than using stock croquis.
