Cheer Uniform Measurement Guidelines

• Have the same person measure all girls. (Do not ask mothers to turn in their daughter's measurements.)
• Use the same method to measure all girls.
• Have the girls wear undergarments similar to those they will be wearing under the uniform.
• If a shirt or tights are to be worn under the uniform, be sure to allow for that.
• Measure all girls at the same time if possible.
• Use a fabric tape measure if possible.
• Make sure the tape measure is held snugly, and firmly (not tightly) against the body.
• When measuring circumference measurements, make sure the tape measure is parallel with the floor.
• Use the following to estimate sizing:
  • If a girl is out of proportion with standard measurements, order a size large enough to be altered to fit.
  • If chest measurement is close, but waist and/or hips are smaller, size by the chest and alter the waist.
  • If chest measurement is close, but waist and/or hips are larger, size by the hips and alter the chest and/or waist.
