Guide to taking measurements of a child
With this guide, we want to help you correctly take a child's measurements for an outfit.

BACK: Measure from shoulder to shoulder.
CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE: Place the tape measure around the child's torso, under the armpits, leaving enough slack for one finger to fit between the tape measure and the child.
WAIST: Place the tape measure around the body two fingers above the navel, leaving enough slack for one finger to fit between the tape measure and the child.
HIP: Place the tape measure around the hip, leaving enough slack for one finger to fit between the tape measure and the child.
SLEEVE LENGTH: Measure from the end of the shoulder to the wrist along the outside of the arm.
PANT LENGTH: Measure from the back, with the shoe the child will wear on, from the waist to the top of the shoe's heel.
We hope these instructions have been useful to you.
