How To Measure

Six numbers, one tape

Measure over light clothing with a soft tape. Keep it snug but never tight — you should be able to slip a finger underneath. Write the numbers down once and you can shop the whole collection from them.

HEIGHT CHEST WAIST SLEEVE INSEAM
  • Height

    Shoes off, heels together, back flat against a wall. Mark the top of the head and measure down to the floor. For babies, lay them flat and measure head to heel.

  • Chest

    Arms relaxed at their sides. Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, level all the way around the back.

  • Waist

    Find the natural crease at the waist — usually just above the belly button — and measure around, keeping the tape level. Don't pull tight or ask them to suck in.

  • Inseam

    Standing straight, feet slightly apart. Measure from the crotch straight down the inside of the leg to the ankle bone. Easier alternative: measure the inseam of pants that already fit them well.

  • Sleeve

    Arm relaxed with a slight bend at the elbow. Measure from the center back of the neck, across the shoulder, down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone.

  • Weight

    Their current weight. Use it as the tiebreaker when height and chest point to two different sizes.

A few tips

Kids wriggle — measure twice and take the larger number. Growth comes in bursts, so re-measure at the start of each season rather than trusting last year's size. If a measurement falls between two sizes, our size charts tell you which way to go for each fabrication.
