Essential Measurements for Girl's School Uniform
For the best results, have the child stand upright, measure over thin underwear, and hold the tape firmly but never too tight.
| Measurement | Garment | How to Measure | Key Advice from Video |
|---|---|---|---|
| Height | All items (for sizing class) | Have the child stand with their back to the wall and feet together. Measure from the top of their head down to the floor. | Measure in bare feet or socks. |
| Chest | Shirts, Blouses, Blazers | Have the child slightly raise their arms outward. Measure around the fullest area of the chest. | Ensure the measurement is taken accurately around the largest part. |
| Waist | Skirts, Trousers, Jumpers | Measure around the child's natural waistline (the narrowest part of the waist), which is just above the hip. | Do not measure over pants or a skirt; the tape must be directly against the skin or thin underwear. |
| Hip | Skirts, Trousers | Measure around the fullest area of the hip. | This measurement should only be taken over thin underwear. Do not measure over heavy clothing. |
| Inseam | Trousers | Measure from the crotch of the child's pants down to the desired pant length or ankle. | This determines the length of trousers. |
General Sizing Tips
- Posture: Ensure the child is standing straight and relaxed for all measurements.
- Accuracy: Double-check each measurement for the best fit.
- Growth: If a measurement falls between sizes, it is usually recommended to **size up** to allow for comfort and growth during the school year.
