    Say, Barb - I'm curious whether you do much different when you meet a client in person for measurements.

    Best regards,
    Rex.

    Nope - I do the measurements the same way I instruct a client to do them. The only thing I try to do is find a kilt that will at least go around the person and use that to measure the length. I suggest that clients do this, too, but many don't already have a kilt.

    Well, I guess I also look at a person's shape and use that to judge how to tweak the splits. Sometimes I ask someone to send me a photo in profile if I can't make up my mind about what to do.
