Awesome! So, I'm trying to take my own measurements to see if the 3D model would be accurate. I downloaded the PDF about measurements, but I find it not specific enough. For example, chest girth: depending on how much air I got in my lungs it changes a lot! I guess I should measure when it seems the most « normal », but a little more information would be greatly appreciated (:

Hey there. Great point! The body is always in flux, and that's why hand measurements can be so imprecise (also due to general human error). I'd say it's best to just take hand measurements in a 'normal' state (i.e. normal chest breath, posture, etc.)
