SIZING
Please CHOOSE YOUR SIZE CAREFULLY!
If you are having trouble determining your size, please send us an email & we can help! Please be sure to follow our measuring instructions carefully, check them twice! We are also happy to work with measurements & cut to your size.
​
If you're measurements don't fit within our size chart, THAT'S OK; we are happy to custom cut for our curvier QUEENS! Just send us an email and we can discuss your needs!
​​
SIZE GUIDE AVAILABLE IN CENTIMETRES & INCHES!
However the centimetres are more accurate & our preferred method; if you send measurements in inches we can convert them to cm.
SEE BELOW HOW TO MEASURE & OUR NEW SOLO & GROUP MEASURING TEMPLATES! >>>>

We have a '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.
Things to consider when 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 & Denim 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!
