Measurements
------------
The blocks have been converted to metric measures.
All measurements should be taken on top of basic underwear, including a
corset, following the instructions given by the book.
The file :download:`blair.vit` include all the measurements used in
these blocks and the patterns derived from them.
Instructions on how to take these measurements start from page 69 of
:cite:`1904:blair`, from which the following illustration is taken, and
page 11 of :cite:`1897:blair`..
