How to measure your child
Lets begin with the waist. At “more for kids” some of our points of measurement are a bit different than for other retailers because a child with a “bit of a tummy” will tend to wear their trousers under their tummy. So to begin with we need the circumference measurement from underneath their tummy rather than in the natural waist position..
Next is measuring your child’s chest, place the measuring tape at the widest part under their armpits measure the circumference . That is your child’s chest measurement.
To measure the inside leg, get your child to stand-up straight with their legs shoulder width apart. Measure their inside leg from the crotch along the inside of their leg to the point you would like the trousers to sit, that is your measurement.
To measure your child’s hips, place the tape measure on the widest part of their hips and measure the circumference.
