How do I choose the right size for my Weissman costume?

When measuring up, we recommend dancers wear undergarments or a lightweight leotard for the most accurate measurements. The tape measure should be snug, but not too tight! If you have a dancer who’s measurements fit into a few different size brackets, we recommend ordering the bigger size and making any alterations where required.

Get the Perfect Fit 

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.

Inseam – Measure from the crotch to the bottom. The inseam length is the number of inches, to the nearest half-inch.
