I was thrilled to receive recently Fashionary's newest and latest invention; the Fashionary tape. This is a dressmakers' tape measure, but it's not not just any old ordinary tape measure. The measuring tape has all the body measurements a person could possibly need, and more; already thoughtfully marked on the tape and ready for you to go.
Pretty useful, huh?!
The tape measure has both metric and imperial and metric measurements on it, which is terrific if, like me, you have trouble mentally and accurately converting one to the other sometimes. Womens' measurements are on the white, or metric side; and mens' measurements are on the black, or imperial side; but obviously it is pretty easy to see the measurement in either side since you can just flip the tape over if your preference is for the other.
The tape measure has all the regular body measurements we use all the time, like bust, waist and hip, and then some other useful ones like bust-to-bust point, shoulder, neck, bicep, wrist and crotch height, and then even more that you might not have even thought of ! In all there are thirty measurements for women and twenty-seven for men.
And even if you don't think you'll need all those extra measurements, the tape measure is of superb quality, made of that really nice and thick, solid and sturdy, indestructible but still pliable, fibreglass fabric that's going to last forever and a day. Just with that nice heavy old-fashioned feel to it, y'know, like your grandmother's tape measure.
The Fashionary tape can be seen in action, along with bonus close-ups of a rather divine manicure that is just perfect for summer! on the Fashionary site here.
Also, Fashionary were generous and thoughtful enough to send me two tapes and so I thought I would offer the second one up in a giveaway! If you would like to own one of these beautifully sturdy tools of the dressmaker's trade then please leave a comment on this post saying so by next Thursday 26th June. On this date I will randomly choose a winner.
Thank you so much to Fashionary for your generosity :)
