Start with references first. Measurements can come next.

You do not need perfect measurements to start. CosLoom will ask for exact measurements after confirming the scope, and light custom, props, and full custom builds need different details.

Different commission types need different measurements.

Light custom costume bases usually need the core body measurements. Props and accessories may only need size, head circumference, hand position, or shipping limits. Full commissions need more detail after the first review.

Height

Stand straight without shoes. Share centimeters or inches and note if heels will be worn.

Shoulder Width

Measure from shoulder point to shoulder point across the back, not around the body.

Bust / Chest

Measure around the fullest part while wearing the undergarments planned for the costume.

Waist

Measure the natural waist. Do not pull the tape tight; leave normal breathing room.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of the hips while standing naturally.

Arm Length

Measure from shoulder point to wrist with the arm relaxed and slightly bent.

Leg Length

Share outer leg length from waist to ankle and inseam if pants, boots, or armor are involved.

Shoe Size

Provide your usual size and country system, especially for boot covers, armor, or floor-length costumes.
