Choosing the correct clothing size

Most manufacturers use chest and height measurements, but please check your measurements against the relevant manufacturers code.. We cannot be held responsible for any inconsistency or inaccuracies in measuring.

A - Measure from the neck to ankle without shoes - nape of neck measurement should be done from top of spine to ankle.

B - Measure under the arms at the fullest part around the chest.

C - Measure around the natural waistline

D - Measure from shoulder bone to wrist

When measuring height this should be done feet together , no shoes and feet flat on the floor. Measure from top of head to ground. It is a good idea to do this against a flat wall.

Tips on measuring for shoes

Stand your child on a piece of paper and draw around their foot, then measure the length of the foot shape and whilst this isn’t an exact science it will give you some idea of the size of the foot spread out.
