SIZE GUIDE NOW ONLY AVAILABLE IN CENTIMETRES.
We have decided to remove the INCHES from our sizing chart in 2026. Centimetres are the most accurate method for our products & is our preferred system to work with.
However; if you measure & send your sizing in inches we can still help with the conversion to find your accurate size!

HOT TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR SIZE
We understand that not every BODY is the same, we are grateful to provide dancewear & costumes for anyone who wants to dance! So here are some considerations when choosing your sizing!
​
-
If you are in between sizing; consider whether you prefer your dancewear/costume more firm fitted or with a little comfort room. And think about whether 'adding bling' will restrict the stretch as well, we always recommend adding your bling with the garment stretched on a body board or mannequin.
-
We are happy to custom cut if you need a little more coverage in the bust or butt area!
-
Consider whether your dancer is growing still & how long the garment needs to be worn for.
-
Waist measurements are the least important when it comes to sizing leotards; ​waist only comes into play if the waist is significantly smaller or larger than the rest of the measurements; we can cut accordingly if required.​
-
We can cut items EXTRA LONG for tall dancers if required. (this is when the dancer's measurements are two sizes bigger in girth eg. Ladies 8 Body - Ladies 12 Length)
-
Focus on your Waist + Buttocks measurement when ordering briefs; we are happy to do the next size up in the waistband if your dancer needs a little more room in the waist.
-
Fabrics like PVC & Stretch Satin are less stretchy than our other stretch fabrics, so we always recommend inflating your measurements or sizing up when choosing this fabric to allow for the adjusted fit.
-
If your girth measurement is at the lower end of the LONG length and your hip measurements is on the smaller side; you probably don't need to order the LONG Length.
-
We want to do everything we can to create your perfect fit!
-
Always reach out to us via email if you are not sure which size to choose!
We have a 'LEOTARD LENGTH' option for our leotards range!
Please refer to your GIRTH measurement when choosing your Leotard Length.
SHORT Length: a size shorter in length than body width.
STANDARD Length: when body length is in same size range as body width,
LONG Length: a size longer in length than body width.
