Why Accurate Stats Matter on a Comp Card

A comp card’s printed measurements (height, bust/waist/hip, shoe size) are used by agencies and clients for practical booking decisions — matching a model to a specific garment size or a specific casting requirement — making accuracy a functional necessity, not just a formality.

How to Measure Correctly

Measurements should be taken carefully and consistently (standing straight, unstretched tape measure, standard reference points) rather than estimated, since inaccurate stats create real problems when a model shows up for a booking that assumed different measurements.

Updating Stats Over Time

Like digitals, printed stats should be re-measured and updated periodically, since a body’s measurements can shift over time — an outdated stat sheet creates the same mismatch problem as an outdated photo.

Honesty About Measurements

Rounding measurements favorably or reporting outdated numbers to seem more competitive ultimately backfires when the model shows up for a booking — honest, current measurements serve the model’s actual professional interest better than a flattering but inaccurate stat sheet.
