The essay considers measuring techniques and instruments as part of the modernist vision of a generation of tailors, dressmakers, patternmakers and cutters. Taking measurements was a central theme in theoretical reflection throughout the sector of fashion in 1920s and 1930s stimulated by research into a rational sartorial technique, by the need to simplify the passage from measurement to garment and to increase precision of cutting, thus reducing fitting times.

Abstract

The essay considers measuring techniques and instruments as part of the modernist vision of a generation of tailors, dressmakers, patternmakers and cutters. Taking measurements was a central theme in theoretical reflection throughout the sector of fashion in 1920s and 1930s stimulated by research into a rational sartorial technique, by the need to simplify the passage from measurement to garment and to increase precision of cutting, thus reducing fitting times.
