Name of the Experiment: Measurement of a five pocket denim pants
Experiment Outcomes: The objectives of this experiment is to acquaint the students of
measuring different types of garment, especially five pocket denim pants. The students will also learn the different point of measurements (POM’s) of a five pocket denim pants. On completion of the experiment, students will be able to
1. Identify different point of measurements (POM’s) of a five pocket denim pants 2. Measure a five pocket denim pants
3. Understand the principle of measuring any garments 4. Write the report on measurement
Introduction: Pants is one of the most used garment item all over the world and one of the biggest export items of Bangladesh. Accurate measurement of a garment is one of the most important criteria for the right fitting of the apparel. The person who takes necessary measurements has to take extra precautions and also know some key parameters of garments measurement. Those points of five pocket denim pants have been significantly presented in this experiment.
Aim: To acquainted the students with the measuring and reporting procedure of five pocket denim pants.
Apparatus/Sample/Instruments/Requirements: Measurement tape, A basic T-shirt to be measured, Table, paper and pen.
Theory:
Garment fitting is depending on the taking body measurements. So it is very important for a garments maker to know how to take accurate measurement. The purpose of the experiment is
o To know the standard measuring procedure of five pocket denim pants.
o To know the different points of measurement (POM) of five pocket denim pants.
o To report the measured garments of a specific style of five pocket denim pants.
o To know the name of different parts of a five pocket denim pants.

2. Measuring table should attune with the full length and width of apparel.
3. Apparel should be laid fully flat and tension free before garment measurement.
4. All types of creases and wrinkles should be removed from the garments.
5. Before garments measurement, a good quality measurement tape should be ensured.
6. The person who gives the measurement should stand straight.
7. During garments measurement, a well fitted garment should be worn by the person who takes the measurement.
8. During measuring the body parts basic lines of the body has needed to take consideration.
9. While taking girth measurements, a tape or cord have to keep parallel to the ground like waist, hip etc.
10. It should be noted that, accuracy of various measurements are highly depends on the concentration of the measurer.
Sketch: Draw a neat sketch showing different measurement points.
Guideline:
