Guide to taking measurements for a baby

With this short guide, we want to help you correctly take a baby's measurements for an outfit, dress, romper, overall, christening gown, or skirt, with or without a bonnet or hat.

HEAD, NECK, and CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE: Place the measuring tape around the baby's head, neck, or torso, leaving enough slack for one finger to fit between the tape and the baby.

WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: Place the measuring tape around the body, two fingers above the navel, leaving enough slack for one finger to fit between the tape and the baby.

TOTAL LENGTH: Measure from the base of the neck to the desired length, always with the baby upright, from the front.

We hope these instructions have been helpful.
