Tailoring & Textile Design Assistant

Textile & Fashion Suite

Streamline garment fitting, calculate pattern adjustments, and translate fabric weights and hardware standards used across global apparel manufacturing.

Button Size (Ligne ↔ mm ↔ inches)

Convert traditional ligne (L) measurements used in tailoring to millimeters and decimal/fractional inches, with relative size guides.

Understanding Ligne measurements

The Ligne (abbreviated as L) is an absolute unit of length equal to exactly 1/40 of an inch (0.635 mm) traditionally used by tailors and haberdasheries globally to measure button diameters.
