Volume 2 Chapter 63 To Make Your Own Clothes, It Seems Like You Have To Take Detailed Measurements, Especially For Women
Now, I went to Satsuki's aunt's house and Yayoi-chan's house to learn various things in order to make a cosplay costume of the Water Pillar from "Kimetsu no Yaiba".
Furthermore, after the two of them measured my body size, they even made a pattern for me.
After that, I just need to find fabric in the right color and it should be fine.
It seems like I have to go to Nippori this time though.
"Can Kashiyama-san make the Insect Pillar costume well?"
I said that and my mom asked.
"By the way, I heard that you're going to make and wear a costume of a manga character with your senior. What kind of character is it?"
I opened the manga page and showed it.
"The Water Pillar on this side is the character I'll be cosplaying, and the Insect Pillar with the butterfly-like cape on the other side is the character my senior will be cosplaying. Both of them are popular characters after the main siblings."
Yayoi-chan heard that and said,
"Are the Insect Pillars female characters? Is your senpai also a woman?"
"Yeah, she's a second-year student at the same high school and also my senior at the part-time job at the patisserie. I think Yayoi-chan saw her when we were shooting a video at Ando Trois with Nakagaito and Namiki-san.
At that time, I don't think she talked because she was the one doing the customer service."
When I said that, Yayoi-chan gave me a sharp look.
"Ak-kun is always surrounded by girls, huh?"
"Yeah, maybe because I've been playing with Yayoi-chan since kindergarten and until elementary school, it doesn't feel unnatural for me to be with girls. But on the other hand, I find it difficult to make male friends."
"Well, if that's the case, then there's nothing I can do."
And then Aunt Satsuki said,
"In that case, should I teach you how to measure girls and make patterns?"
"Ah, that would be helpful if you could do that."
I said, and Aunt Satsuki mentioned.
"The basic parts can be made the same way as Aki-chan, but the measuring method is completely different for boys and girls. Yayoi seems better as a model than me or your mom. I think we are too short."
"Ah, you're right. Yayoi-chan is closer in height."
I replied, and Yayoi-chan blushed.
"Um, okay then. I'll be the model for measurements."
"Oh, you two used to take baths together until elementary school, didn't you? And I even changed Aki-chan's diapers."
"Mom, I'm already a college student, you know?"
Yayoi-chan said as she left the room.
"Did I ever have my diapers changed by Aunt Satsuki?"
I wondered, and my mother is laughing as she hears it.
"Oh, you don't remember?"
"Yeah, I don't remember..."
While saying such things, Yayoi-chan had changed into a T-shirt and shorts, dressing lightly.
"Well then, mom, show Ak-kun how to take measurements."
"Yes, yes."
So, Yayoi-chan became a model and I learned how to measure a girl from Aunt Satsuki.
"Even though it's the measurements for women, you have to measure at least the bust, underbust, waist, hips, height, waist length, rise, inseam, back shoulder width, and sleeve length. If you want to include the details, it's better to also measure the middle hip, wrist circumference, back width, sleeve length, chest width, underbust length, space between breasts, head circumference, and neck circumference."
"I sort of understand some of them, but I have no idea about the middle hip, sleeve length, back width, chest width, underbust length, and space between breasts."
"The middle hip is located at about the center of the waistline and hip line, about 8-10cm below the waistline, around the upper end of the pelvic bone. If there is a large difference in size between the waist and middle hip, it becomes difficult to choose the size, so when making high-waisted pants or tight skirts, it is better to measure the size of the middle hip as well. In Yayoi's case..."
Aunt Satsuki measured Yayoi-chan's middle hip size.
"I see."
"Next, the sleeve length is measured from the base of the neck to the end of the sleeve, the length from the center of the shirt to the end of the sleeve. In Yayoi's case..."
Aunt Satsuki measured Yayoi-chan's sleeve length.
"I see, this is also important."
"The back width is measured from around the right armpit at the back to the left armpit at the back. The bust width is from the right armpit to the left armpit. The underbust measurement is from the base of the neck to the highest point of the bust in the center front. The cleavage is the width between the left and right nipples. These areas have significant individual differences, so it is important when making garments with bras or bra cups."
Yayoi-chan blushed at those words.
"Oh, um, Mom? I'm really embarrassed, you know?"
And I also felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, since this time I won't be making underwear, maybe you don't need to measure that part. But it would be good to have measurements for bunny girl costumes or dancer-like costumes, right?"
"Indeed, with this costume, you might not need to measure in such detail, but it wouldn't hurt to keep it in mind."
"True, for women, measurements can be difficult due to the variations in body shape."
I said that, and Aunt Satsuki nodded.
"Actually, even when buying ready-made clothes, it's better to take measurements and do fittings, but many people don't bother with that."
And I was taught how to make a pattern, including adding seam allowances, based on the measurements.
However, it's fortunate that I might be able to help Kashiyama-san with her cosplay, not just mine.
