Each size we offer will fit up to the maximum height in that range. Please take measurements as follows:

Chest
With a fabric tape measure under the arms and the fullest part of the chest.
Waist
Place a fabric tape measure comfortably loose around the child’s natural waistline for this measurement.We design our costumes to be comfortable and a generous fit – with plenty of growing room. Wherever possible we make waists elasticated and use "Hook and Loop" fasteners to make the costumes easy to get in and out of.
If you anticipate wearing the outfit over the top of ordinary clothing it is worth considering buying the costume in a larger size.
Fur costumes
The inside of the fur fabric often has a backing that can be scratchy to the skin. After the first wash, the fabric will soften.
