FURSUIT Measurements
Let's get started!
This process is important to ensure your fursuit fits just right, so take your time. Start by opening the personalised Fitting Form sent to you by Drelteo, then follow the instructions below to fill out the form. Collect 3 measurements for each step, and input the largest result you believe reflects an accurate measurement. I'm always happy to lend a hand, so please reach out if you'd like help, clarification or photo examples :)
HEAD
1.
Head circumference (position tape on eyebrows and measure the widest horizontal point)
2.
Center of the top of the head, to the point of the chin (centre of head will be the highest point when standing straight and looking forward)
3.
Outer face circumference
HANDPAWS
1.
Circumference of widest part of hand, when positioned as if fitting a glove

BODYSUITS
Bodysuits require a DTD. To make one you'll need cling wrap, scissors, grey duct tape and a permanent marker. An extra pair of hands is recommended for this step!
Technique:
Work in sections. Circle the cling wrap around the area 2 or 3 times, then cover the wrapped area with the duct tape. Ensure you overlap both the cling wrap and duct tap sufficiently to prevent deformation of the DTD later in the process, as this can alter the fit.
Work in sections:
Tape from your ankles to your hips. Move onto the wrists, then arms, and finally the waist, chest, shoulders and upper back. Be sure to tape right to the end of the wrists and ankles.
Be safe:
Do not cover the hands, feet, neck or head. Apply tape only on the cling wrap, not the skin. Keep water nearby and don't wrap too tightly, especially around the chest.
Draw some markings:
The creature below will show you where to mark!
1. Line across collar bones
2. Cross on belly button
3. Line across hip bones
4. Circle elbows
5. Circle ulna head (prominent wrist bone on pinky side)
6. Circle knees
7. Circle inner & outer ankle bones
