How to Take Your Child’s Measurements

Our shop has a custom size chart for girls, ranging from newborn sizes to age seven. We also make dresses according to each child’s individual measurements.

If your child does not fit perfectly into any size shown in our size chart, please provide her measurements so that we can create the best possible fit.

Before Taking Measurements

  • Have your child wear lightweight, close-fitting clothing.
  • Do not take measurements immediately after a large meal.
  • Ask her to stand upright in a natural, relaxed position. She should not hold her breath, pull in her stomach, arch her back, or push her body forward.
  • Keep the measuring tape level and comfortably fitted around the body.
  • Do not pull the tape too tightly or add extra allowance.
  • Please provide all measurements in either centimeters or inches and specify which unit you used.

1. Chest Measurement

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your child’s chest, passing it across the nipple line and underneath the arms. Make sure the tape remains level all the way around her body. Place one finger between the tape and her body to ensure a comfortable fit. Note the measurement where the two ends of the tape meet.

2. Waist Measurement

Measure around your child’s natural waist, which is usually located slightly above the belly button and approximately level with her elbows when her arms are relaxed at her sides. Wrap the measuring tape around the waist and place one finger between the tape and her body. Do not pull the tape too tightly, and do not add or subtract any extra allowance.

3. Hip Measurement

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your child’s hips and bottom. Keep the tape straight and level around the body. Place one finger between the tape and her body. Do not pull the tape too tightly, and do not add or subtract any extra allowance. Record the measurement where the tape meets.
