Sizing Guide

Please use the following measurements as a guide for deciding the right size for your dancer.  Many of my costumes have a generous amount of stretch and can cover various measurements. If you have any other questions or queries about the sizing guide, or any of the products, please contact me!

How to Measure

Bust measurement

Bust/Chest

Standing up straight, measure horizontally around the chest at the widest point. 

Waist measurement

Waist

Measure horizontally around the waist at the narrowest point.

Tip: If you bend to the side, the crease that forms on your side is where your natural waistline is!

Hips measurement

Hips

Measure horizontally straight around the hips at the widest bottom point.

Tip: It’s important that you take the measurement across the fullest part of your bottom. Make sure that the tape remains level all the way around and is parallel to the floor.

Girth measurement

Girth

To measure girth, place a tape measure at the top of the shoulder and then run the tape down through the crotch and back to the same shoulder.

Tip: The measuring tape should be close to the body but not tight.

Skirt length measurement

Skirt Length

If you are ordering a custom lyrical
costume I will ask you for your desired skirt length.

To measure this, place a tape measure at your waistline of your back and let the tape run down over your bottom. Determine the length you desire. 

High hip measurement

High Hip

If you are ordering a traditional
(non-stretch) tutu I will ask you for this measurement.

Measure horizontally straight around the hips at the hip bone level.
