HOW TO MEASURE YOUR CHILD FOR SCHOOL UNIFORM

Below are our top tips to help you measure your child and assist you in buying the correct fitting school uniform.

We pride ourselves on our traditional customer service, where we would usually fit pupils with our own measurements in store. To ensure the safety of our customers and staff we are unable to provide such a personal service in respect of social distancing measure. To make the process as simple as possible, we have provided a step-by-step guide on how to measure your child for school uniform.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN…

DON’T HAVE A TAPE MEASURE?

Don’t worry, download this tape measure (available in inches) here and print at home, it’s to scale and easy to put together.

GRAB A TAPE MEASURE 

The Tape measure will need to be in inches as the majority of our garments are measured in this unit.

POSITION THE TAPE MEASURE

If you’re taking a horizontal measurement, such as the waist, position the end of the tape measure on the centre of the body and bring the rest of the tape around to meet it.

If you are taking a length measurement, such as the inside leg, hold the end of the tape measure at the starting point and draw the rest of the tape along the body until you reach the stopping point.

THE CORRECT MEASUREMENT

 

Pinch the tape measure at the correct spot and bring it to eye level.
Make a list to write down all the measurements.

If the measurement does not end on a complete number e.g. 33.3” then we recommend you round up to the next complete number e.g. 34” when selecting a size. Or sizing up for added growing room.
