How to Take Your Own Measurements for a Perfect Fit
All you need is a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, stand naturally with your weight even on both feet, and keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger. Below is every measurement we may ask for. You do not have to get each number perfect: we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, so the fit is confirmed on your body first.
1
Bust circumference
Stand straight with your arms relaxed and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level and snug with room for one finger.
2
Natural waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above the belly button, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
3
Waist (trouser or skirt)
Measure around the area where you normally wear your trousers or skirts, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
4
Hips and seat
Stand with your feet together and measure around the widest part of your hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.

Measure from the highest point of the crotch down the inside of your leg to the same hem point used for the trouser length measurement.
8
Outseam and trouser length
Measure from the top of your waistband down the outside of your leg to the point where you want the trouser hem to finish.
9
Shoulder width
Measure across your back from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other, keeping the tape flat.

Sleeve or arm length
Measure from the edge of your shoulder, along the outside of your relaxed arm, to your desired sleeve length.
11
Bicep (upper arm)
With your muscles relaxed, measure around the fullest part of your upper arm, keeping the tape snug with room for one finger.
12
Neck circumference
Measure around the base of your neck where a collar would sit, keeping the tape level with room for one finger.
13
Jacket or back length
Measure from the base of your neck down the center back to where you want the jacket to end.
14
Dress or skirt length
Measure from your natural waist for a skirt, or from the shoulder for a dress, down to your desired hem.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Description
The Power Silhouette, Engineered for Comfort
The high-waisted pencil skirt is a weapon of confidence, but too often it’s a choice that sacrifices comfort for style. This is the end of that compromise. We have taken this iconic power silhouette and engineered it for real life, combining a luxurious, breathable fabric with a truly bespoke process that guarantees a flawless fit you can actually wear all day.
A Foundation of Sharkskin Wool
The secret to a comfortable yet structured skirt is its fabric. We use a premium worsted wool with a unique weave, chosen for its beauty and its performance.
- The Sharkskin Difference: This Super 120s’ worsted wool is woven in a “sharkskin” pattern, giving it a subtle two-tone luster and a remarkably smooth finish. It’s lightweight, breathable, and drapes beautifully to create a sharp, clean line.
- A Palette of 7 Modern Neutrals: Choose from a sophisticated range of 7 versatile shades, including classic black, slate blue, and a sharp petrol blue.
Details That Define All-Day Wearability
This skirt is architected, not just sewn. Every detail serves to enhance its comfort and practicality without sacrificing its powerful shape.
- The High-Waisted Cut: The silhouette begins at your natural waist, creating a beautiful, elongating effect that is both classic and incredibly flattering.
- A Smarter Waistband: The interior of the waistband is enforced with a grip—a high-end detail that keeps your blouses and shirts neatly tucked in for a polished look that lasts from your first meeting to your last.
- Designed for Movement: A deep center-back vent ensures you can walk, sit, and move with graceful ease, defeating the restrictive nature of a typical pencil skirt.
Our Bespoke Fit Promise
The success of a pencil skirt lies entirely in how it fits your unique curves. We eliminate the risk of pulling or pinching by sending you a free test skirt made to your initial measurements before we craft your final garment. This personal fitting, done from the comfort of your home, allows us to perfect the fit through the hips and waist, ensuring the final skirt is sculpted perfectly for your body. It’s the definitive solution to the ill-fitting power skirt.
Caring For Your Skirt
To maintain its beauty and structure, we recommend professional dry-cleaning only.

New Fabric Collection — Now Available
We’ve expanded our pinstripe merino wool selection with a new fabric range. The collection is finer in hand, sharper in stripe definition, and richer in color depth — offering cleaner drape, stronger structure, and a surface that holds its appearance wear after wear. Now available in 10 pinstripe colorways from boardroom navy to off-white.
Most women’s pinstripe suits are built from men’s patterns scaled down, and it shows. The shoulders sit wide, the trouser breaks at the wrong point, and the pinstripe runs slightly off because the seams were never placed for your body. Baron builds this suit to your measurements in a Super 130s merino-cashmere blend, with canvas front construction and rounded peak lapels. We send a free test suit first. You approve the fit.

Women’s Skirt Fit Guide
How a Tailored Skirt Should Fit
A pencil skirt is only as good as three measurements, the waist, the hip, and the length, and off-the-rack rarely gets all three right on one body. A custom-made skirt does. You choose the length and the fit, we cut the waist and hip to your measurements, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut. This guide covers the fits and where a tailored skirt should sit.
Step One
Choose your fit
Slim / Pencil
Closely follows the waist, hip, and thigh for a sharp, tailored line. The classic work-skirt silhouette, cut with a vent or split so you can still walk freely.
Standard (Classic) Fit
Skims the hip with a little more ease than a true pencil, comfortable for all-day wear while keeping a clean, tailored shape.
Relaxed / A-line
Fitted at the waist and easing gently over the hip, for more movement and a softer line that flatters most figures.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Waist
The waistband sits at your chosen height, snug and level, with no gap at the back when you sit. Cut to your waist, it stays put without rolling or pinching.
Hip & seat
The skirt skims the widest part of your hips and seat cleanly, with no horizontal pull lines and no riding up when you walk. This is where cutting to your hip measurement matters most.
Length
You choose it: on the knee for a classic look, just above for a sharper line, or midi for elegance. Every hem is cut to your height and proportions.
Walking room
A fitted skirt is cut with a back vent, split, or kick pleat so you can walk and climb stairs comfortably without the skirt feeling restrictive.
Every skirt is made to your measurements, in the fit and length you choose, with the waist and hip cut to you and a vent for easy walking. A free test garment confirms it before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
Pencil skirts always ride up or gape at my waist. Am I just hard to fit?
You are not, ready-to-wear is. Skirts are cut to one fixed waist-to-hip ratio, so if yours is different, the waist gapes or the hips pull and the skirt rides up. We cut your waist and your hip independently to your own measurements, so the skirt sits level with no gap and skims the hip without riding, and you confirm exactly that on the free test garment before the final skirt is made.
I can never walk comfortably in a fitted skirt. Will this be different?
Yes. A tailored pencil skirt is cut with a back vent, split, or kick pleat that gives you real stride room for walking and stairs, and with enough ease through the hip to sit down comfortably. When you try the free test garment, take a few steps and sit, and if you want more walking room we simply add it before the final skirt is cut.
I have never bought a skirt I could not try on first. How do I know it will fit?
Because you do try it on first. We make a free test skirt in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put it on, walk, sit, and check the waist, hips, and length, then send us notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final cloth, so the finished skirt is a fit you have already approved.
I am nervous I will measure my waist or hips wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment catches anything slightly off, we see the skirt on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
I struggle to find any skirt that flatters my shape. Is custom-made really for me?
It is made for exactly you. A small waist with fuller hips, or the reverse, a longer or shorter body, these are the shapes off-the-rack fails and custom-made tailoring fits best, because we cut to your proportions rather than a size. You also choose the length that flatters you, cut to your height, so nothing is left to chance.
What if it arrives and something is not quite right?
The final skirt is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished skirt carries seam allowances at the waist and seat so a local tailor can fine-tune it, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
What if my size changes later?
Your finished skirt is made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take it in or let it out at the waist and seat within reason. And we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another skirt that fits is simple whenever you want one.
