HOW TO MEASURE
FOR GIRLS AND SUB-TEENS
Children grow so
rapidly that it is important to measure carefully each time you
order.
If
measurements come between two sizes, order larger
size. Remember, her age doesn't tell you what size your
child wears. Recheck measurements each time you order.
Measure Chest or Bust around body at fullest part of chest or
bust. Hold tape snugly well up over shoulder blades.
Measure Height-Have child remove shoes and stand nat–
urltlly against wall. Make mark level with top of head.
Measure from this point to llocir.
Measure Hips in straight line around body at fullest part
of hips (about 7 inches below
0
waist).
Measure Waist around smallest part at natural waistline.
FOR WOMEN
'If
hip and waist measurements are
be~
tween two sizes, order size nearest these two measurements.
Waist and hip sizes are the most important. Hold tape firm but
not
tight.
Measure Around Hips at fullest part. This
is
an important
measurement.
Measure Waist around smallest part at natural waistline.
Measure Bust around body at fullest part of bust. Do not let
tape slide down shoulder blades in back.
Measure length from "bump" at back of neck to waist and
on down to hem.

possible. In the catalog description of each garment, we tell
you the measurements we need to fit you properly. Send us

tape over shoulder blades. Measure over shirt for suits, sport
and leisure coats, topcoats, raincoats.

aist over trousers wi tl1 belt off. Or take trousers
that fit and measure around buttoned waistband.
Measure Inseam from close up in crotch to bottom of trousers

FOR BOYS
Order by size, not by child's age, since children of the
same age vary greatly in size. MEASURE CHILD EACH TIME YOU ORDER
to insure correct fit. Measure height without shoes. Measure chest around
body over shirt under arms and over tips of shoulder blades (for outer–
wear measure chest over heaviest clothing to be worn underneath). Meas–
ure waist around body over underwear at smallest part.
