Size Guide

This is an approximate guide only. Sizing can differ between garments and supplier. Suppliers can also carry different age equivalents for chest and waist sizes.

Please measure your child’s chest and waist in inches and use the size guide below.

Neck

This measurement is needed for sizing shirts. Carefully measure the neck where a shirt collar would sit. We recommend placing two fingers between the neck and tape measure to ensure the fit is not too tight.

Chest

Using a fabric tape measure, wrap it around the child’s chest, under the arms at the widest point.

Waist

Using a fabric tape measure, wrap it around the child’s natural waist, just above the child’s hips.

Inside leg

This measurement is needed for trouser length. Take a fabric tape measure from the top of the inside thigh to the bottom of the leg when their trousers should fall. We recommend measuring your child’s inside leg when they are wearing shoes to get an idea where the trousers will rest on the shoe.

Skirt length

Measure from the natural hip line where the skirt will sit down the legs to desired length. Please note some schools will have a minimum skirt length. For further advice on skirt length please contact the store.
