Sizes
'images' garments are made in a range of sizes to cover all age groups. Special sizes can also be made upon request.
We suggest the use of our sampling service for troupe orders
Once you have decided upon a design and fabric combination, we will make you a set of sizing samples from which to size your troupe. You can then place the balance of the order confident that all your costumes will fit. These samples must be paid for and are used as part of your order. We are always happy to advise on the sizing of 'one off ' orders should you require help.

Taking Measurements
Chest or Bust is taken around the widest point of the chest with the arms down.
Waist is taken at the narrowest point around the trunk of the body
Hip is taken at the widest point around the bottom.
Girth is the measurement taken around the trunk of the body. With the tape measure between the legs take the tape ends up the back and front of the body to meet in a full circle at the shoulder.
Inside leg taken in a straight line from the crotch to the point at which the trousers should finish. [Please wear the correct shoes when taking this measurement].
Skirt taken in a straight line from the waist or hip bone, dependent on design, to the hem point.
Back Length for boys tops is taken from the shoulder to the length you would like the top to finish.
N.B. Choice of fabric will affect fit. Velvet is the easiest fitting fabric followed by plain Lycra with metallic Lycras offering a varying degree of reduced stretch and so tighter fit.
