+title: Curated measurements sets
+---
+
+FreeSewing's **curated measurements sets** are a collection of measurements sets that represent real people.
+
+These sets are used by designers to test their designs on a variety of bodies, as well as by FreeSewing users to test the platform.
+
+## Historique
+
+FreeSewing is all about made-to-measure sewing patterns, so perpetuating the myth of *standard sizes* was never something we wanted to be part of.
+
+In reality, having to take measurements prior to even being able to try the platform adds a lot of friction to the onboarding of new users. So at one point, we added a sizing table with a variety of measurements/sizes so people could see what generating a pattern looked like without having to start measuring themselves.
+
+With the release of version 3 of FreeSewing, we wanted to move away from these *made up* measurements and instead work with the data of real people to test our platform.
+
+We now no longer present users who want to try out the site a range of *standard sizes* but rather a collection of measurements sets where they can pick the one that best represents their own body.
+
+## Suggesting a measurements set for curation
+
+We rely on our community to submit measurements sets for curation. If you have a public measurements set on the site, you can suggest it for curation.
+
+To be part of our curated measurments sets collection, you should provide the following:
+
+- **All measurements** of the person. We do not accept incomplete sets as that would mean some designs would not work with them.
+- **The height** of the person. This helps users select a measurements set closest to their own body.
+- **A picture** of the person to be featured [in our line-up of curated measurements sets](/curated-sets). See below for tips.
+
+
+## Tips for line-up pictures
+
+We present measurements sets in a line-up style, so the picture should be a full frontal picture where you are standing straight and relaxed with your arms beside your body.
+
+Below are some tips on how to get good results:
+
+### Don't stand too close to the camera
+
+For best results, ask a friend to take a picture from further away and zoom in. This helps avoid the *fisheye* effect that you get when taking a picture from up close.
+
+<div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-2">

+
+![A full-body picture of Joost taken from further](cset2.jpg "A picture taken from further and zoomed in will look a lot better")
+
+</div>
+
+The picture on the left is taken from (too) close. There's nothing really wrong with this picture, but it looks weird. That's because this is taken with a mobile phone and the wide angle on these types of cameras gives you this subtle fish eye effect.
+
+The picture on the right was take further away with zoom. This is a much better representation of reality and the pose looks natural because the fish eye effect is neutralized.
+
+#### Stand in front of a white background
+
+We will edit out the background of your picture like this:
+
+![A full-body picture of Joost on a white background](joost.png "A picture on a white background makes our life easier")
+
+So you can make that step a lit easier for us if you can pose in front of a white or plain background.
