If you are costuming a show, or picking out a costume in the shop for a friend or family member, it is absolutely necessary to bring accurate measurements. 

To have a measurement chart for lists of people faxed or emailed to you, please Contact Us.

Our costumes are built for theatrical productions are are not like store bought costumes that are sized by regular modern sizes.  Below are instructions on how to measure accurately.  Print this page to write measurements on the chart.
