Stage Costume Measurements


Costume measurements

Before making a stage costume, it is crucial to take measurements so that it fits perfectly, since each performer has her own unique parameters.

When taking individual measurements, it is strongly recommended to refer to the Grishko guide rather than commonly used conventional measurement charts. All necessary professional measurement assistance is gladly provided at the Grishko stage costume factory.
