    Anyone know if there's anywhere in Dublin i can get measured for a suit? Without actually having any interest in actually buyong one. I don't mind if i've to pay a bit, and i'd rather not just pretend that i do want to buy one. I'm getting married in the states and just need to send my measurements to the tailor over there.

    I could do it myself, but if i get it wrong, i'm kinda screwed.

    From what I hear, most tailors will measure but you have to pay them for their time. This could be 20 to 30 euro.
    It takes about 20 minutes for all measurements to be taken and written down so it's understandable they would charge for their time.
    I'm not sure if the big names on Dawson street etc. would be too keen but I'm sure a local tailor would not have an issue.

    Any seamstress/alterator will do this for ya but it's easy enough to do anyway. Try this...

    Though the recommendation (on this instruction sheet) is to take measurements from existing clothes I say that you should use the body measurement method instead as you don't have a fitted suit to measure from.

    There are numerous other guides available but this one gives you a good overview on what and why you are measuring the various bits.
    Enjoy the suit. May it be the first of many. :)
