It depends. 0.6 mm is quite “thick” for really thight fitting clothing. I would definately not recommend to scale it down around the neck, wrist, knee and arm pits, and ankles. For the rest like biceps, underarm, waist, thigh, calf … I would like to give a tip: make your own meassurementband out of the latex thickness you would like to use. Just a 1,5 m long 0.6mm latex strip and measure your body with that. When meassuring tightned your latexstrip so that it is comfortable for you and according to the desired thightness of your garment. That will help you to find the right “tightness”, since some areas can be scaled more down than others. I hope that helped.

How much would you recommend scaling measurements down with 0.6 mm latex to get a tight fit as shown in your tutorials?

Hi Kitty, this website is wonderful and will help lots of people, so many thanks!
One tip with making measurements is to cut a long strip of paper about 4 cm wide and hang it down from the top of the line you are measuring (like from the neck down to the top of the thighs). Then you write all the measurements (like above the bust, bust, below the bust, waist…) on the paper strip. That way you have the vertical position correct and its easy to transfer onto a pattern. Write the name of the person on the paper strip and it’s easy to keep it for next time.
hugs, Keith
