Another newbie question

[Lilangels]

How do you figure measurments for diapers? I ask becuase I am trying to figure out sizes for the dipes that I am making. For example: before I put elastic in my diapers are approx rise 15, back 14, crotch 7, and front 8 but if I measure after I put in the elastic my figures are way different. So do I measure before or after elastic. This may seem like a stupid question : but it would really help me out.
Thanks

BTW, if it matters these are fitted diapers.
Thanks again

Do you need to supply this information to someone else? B/C if you do, I would like to have both stretched and unstretched measurements so I could see my range. I'm not sure if that would work exactly for the rise, though.

I'm curious too.

Yes the measurments would be to let people know what size they would need to order for their dc. I have checked a bunch of web sites and a bunch of them offer measurements instead of poundage. I have decided I would rather go this way to get the buyer a better fit (will be selling only IRL for now). I suppose I could list both so people would have a better idea of the range.

Then, yes, give both measurements. I think the rise may only get one measurement. The range would definitely help.
