Can a Photo Really Measure You More Accurately Than a Tape?

It sounds like it shouldn’t work: take a photo on your phone, and a shirt arrives that fits better than anything you’ve bought off a rack. Here is what the camera actually captures, why it can outperform a tape measure in the hands of someone untrained, and what you need to get right on your end for it to work.

Why Does a Made-to-Measure Shirt Cost More Than Ready-to-Wear?

A genuine made-to-measure shirt almost always costs more than something pulled off a rack. The reasons are concrete — pattern, measurement method, fabric, labour, construction — and not every shirt sold as “made-to-measure” actually delivers on all of them. Here is what the price difference is really made of, and what to look for before you decide it’s worth paying.
