Costume Measurements ...
Our spring recital is coming up at the end of May, but it is very important that we order costumes in the next month to be sure they are delivered on time. Many of the costumes or fabric they are made with come from overseas, so extra time is necessary to be sure we have the perfect costume for everyone!
We order costumes based on a few basic measurements.
An SDD instructor will begin taking measurements of every child in class beginning November 1. If you prefer that the studio measure your child, there is nothing further that you need to do at this point.
However, if you prefer to take your child's measurements, could you please take a moment to measure your child.
How to Measure:
For the most accurate measurements, measure while your child is wearing a leotard and standing up straight with weight evenly distributed.
- Girth – Girth is the most important measurement when determining size! To measure girth, place a tape measure at the top of the shoulder where a leotard strap sits, then down through the crotch and back to the same shoulder. Measuring tape should be close to the body but not tight.
- Bust/Chest – Measure over the fullest part of your chest with your arms relaxed at your sides.
- Waist – Measure around where your waist naturally indents. Keep your finger between the tape and your belly.
- Hips – Measure around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks while standing with your heels together.
