Knowing your child’s measurements will help you to select the most appropriate size clothing. However we recommend that each garment is tried on when you receive it to ensure that the size is correct and the fit is comfortable, allowing sufficient room for growth.

Some helpful measurement guidelines are:

  1. Height: With shoes off, feet together and back against a wall measure from the floor to the top of the head.
  2. Collar: Place measuring tape around base of the neck and bring to the front, keeping a comfortable 2 fingers between the tape and the neck
  3. Chest: Place measuring tape under the arms and measure around the fullest part of the chest, ensuring that the tape is not too tight.
  4. Waist: Place measuring tape around natural waistline and bring to the front, keeping the tape reasonably loose.
  5. Hips: Place measuring tape around the fullest part of the hips and bring to the front.
