For many, the thought of self measuring for Highland dress may seem quite daunting, but by following a few basic instructions this need not cause concern.

There are two golden rules

• The most important one being not to attempt to do this alone. It is essential that you get someone else to do the measuring as it is quite impossible to do this yourself with any degree of accuracy.
  Then, when you are confident that you have all the measurements, repeat the process! As any tailor will tell you, "measure twice, cut once!"
  
  
• The second golden rule is to use a proper tailor's measuring tape. This may sound obvious but you'd be amazed at the number of folk who try to make do with a six inch ruler and a piece of string! It never works
