1) First, check your EZ Fit Sizing Tool for the following parts. Each measuring tool should have: - A unisex sizing drape. - A proprietary sizing belt.
2) To begin, first determine the style of apron or aprons that you need.
- For full length aprons, both front and full-wrap styles, as well as skirts, you will use the long side of the sizing drape.
- For vests, you will use the shorter side of the sizing drape.
3) Once you have determined the appropriate style of apron, slip the drape over your head with the chosen side facing forward.
4) Next, identify the correct sizing point for the included belt.
- For full length aprons as well as vests, choose the widest point of your body inside of the arms, from the armpit down to your knees.
- For skirts, choose the widest point of your body from where the top of your skirt would typically rest down to your knees.
- Areas such as the chest, belly, hips, or outside of the thighs for skirts, will commonly be the widest point. However, this will vary by person.
5) Once the widest point has been determined, comfortable wrap the sizing belt around only this area and use the hook & loop connectors to secure it in place.
- Take extra care to ensure the belt fits snugly, comfortably, and stays in position without sliding as you move around horizontally and vertically.
- Do not over-tighten, or wear the belt too loosely, as this can lead to an inaccurate fitting.
6) Using the clearly marked areas on the sizing belt, make note of the size bracket that the "Your Size Here Arrow" lands in.
- This area is your width for the apron, vest or skirt.
- If sizing for multiple items, note each width individually, as sizes can vary for each product.
- Should the arrow land between two segments, Streamlite Lead recommends sizing up to the larger option to ensure a comfortable fit.
7) Next, use the sizing drape to select the appropriate length for your selected apron, vest or skirt.
- For full length aprons and skirts, Streamlite Lead recommends the bottom of the garment rest between the middle and bottom of your kneecaps to provide full unhindered mobility and proper protection.
- For vests, Streamlite Lead recommends the bottom of the vest rest just below the belt line, accounting for a two-inch overlap with a corresponding skirt to ensure proper protection when moving around.
8) Ensure the drape is in the correct position before sizing by adjusting the neckline of the drape until it lines up and rests evenly with your sternal notch.
- Do not worry about excess material above the sizing belt after adjusting the neckline to the sternal notch. This is normal, and the tension from the belt will hold the drape in place to help ensure an accurate length selection.
9) Once the drape is in the correct position, note the preferred length of your apron or vest by choosing the size bracket that comfortably rests within these recommended areas.
10) For Skirts, use the sizing belt in the exact same manner as you would front or full-wrap aprons and vests.
- Wrap the sizing belt around the widest point of your body within the area you would typically wear the skirt.
- Areas such as the belly, hips, or outer thighs will commonly be the widest point. However, this will vary by person.
- Take extra care to ensure the belt fits snugly, comfortably, and stays in position without sliding as you move around horizontally and vertically.
- Do not over-tighten, or wear the belt too loosely, as this can lead to an inaccurate fitting.
11) To measure Skirt length, do not remove the sizing belt. Simply pull upwards slowly on the sizing drape until the printed "top of skirt" words and line rests where the top of your skirt would sit when worn.
- Do not worry about excess material above the sizing belt after adjusting the "Top of Skirt" line to the preferred spot. This is normal, and the tension from the belt will hold the drape in place to help ensure an accurate length selection.
12) Once the drape is in the proper position, note the preferred length of your skirt by choosing the size bracket that comfortably rests in the recommended area.
13) Using these noted widths and lengths, you can now order your apparel items with confidence and peace of mind!
