Client records

What is the best way to keep client measurements

Published 4 June 2026 ยท Updated 30 August 2026

Keep measurements attached to the client, not the order, recorded in one place with the date and a note on the garment they were taken for, then update them rather than overwriting the history.

The costly habit is keeping measurements on a paper docket tied to one order. When that client returns, the measurements are gone, in a drawer or out of date.

The method, plainly

01

Attach measurements to the client

A client is measured once and that record can support every future order, with adjustments. Tie it to a single docket and the value disappears after one commission.

02

Record the date and context

A measurement from two years ago is not the same as one from last month. Note when it was taken and which garment it supported.

03

Update rather than overwrite

Keep the old set as history when measurements change. The history tells you how the client is changing.

04

Keep the record where the studio can reach it

A notebook can be lost, a phone can break and a loose docket can vanish. A shared studio record survives daily work.

A returning client expects you to know their fit, preferences and the adjustment you made last time. That knowledge is a studio asset.

TexoIQ keeps the measurement record with the client, dated and kept, so the next order starts from what you already know.

Common questions

Should measurements belong to a client or an order

They should belong to the client, because one client may place many orders over time.

Should old measurements be deleted

No. Keep old measurements as history and add the newer set with date and context.

Why does measurement history matter

It helps the studio understand fit changes and serve returning clients with more care.
