Studio Love offers a wide variety of garments from multiple manufacturers, which means sizing is unique to each item. When you’re looking at any product page, click Sizing to see the breakdown. We provide both garment measurements and fit guide based on body measurements where possible.
Garment measurements start with “Garment”, whereas body measurements start with “Your”. This makes it easy to take your students costume measurements and order according to our charts. Alternatively, all measurements are included in your quote, which you can download and share with your students.
Industry standard measurements for garments are listed with +/- 5% tolerance for error. Deviation within this margin should not drastically affect the fit of the garment.
Make sure your tape measure is straight and level when taking all of these measurements. Here is how to properly take your own measurements for comparing to our sizing guides:
Chest
With your arms relaxed at your sides, take a measurement at the fullest part of the chest right under the arms, wrapping the tape once all the way around the torso.
Waist
While relaxed (don't hold your breath), measure the smallest part of the torso where the waist cinches. Make sure the tape goes all the way around, is level, and is not too tight.
Hips
Stand straight with heels together, and measure around the widest part of the hips. Be sure the measuring tape does not sag or droop on either side and measure all the way around the hip for total circumference.
Inseam
With your legs straight, measure the distance from the crotch to right below the ankle bone in a straight line.
