1. Sleeve Length: With your arm extended, measure from your shoulder to your wrist.
2. Center Front Length: Measured from the neckline down. This measurement indicates the total length of the garment. Each garment indicates its length in its specific product size chart.

6. Crotch: This measurement is taken from the bottom of your waistband upwards towards your navel. It helps determine the crotch depth of bottoms such as skirts and pants (e.g., high-waisted, mid-waisted, low-waisted). Each garment indicates its crotch depth in its specific product size chart.
7. Leg Length: This measurement is taken from the hem of the waistband down towards the ankles. It tells us the total length of pants or overalls.

It is important to remember that this measurement should be taken from the inside of the leg, as shown in the illustration, and not from the outside.
