Measurement Guide for Barong Tagalog
Dear Family,
We suggest having a professional tailor or seamstress take your measurements to ensure the accuracy of the measurements. If, however, due to particular constraints, you are unable to do so, please use the measurement guide found below (NOTE: click on the picture for a larger view and for an explanation on exactly how to go about it).
When sending us your measurements, please use inches instead of centimeters. You can post your measurements in the comments section below (if you have your own multiply account) or email them either to [email protected] OR [email protected].
Thank you.
