Measurement Guidelines

Measurements for a costume are given to aid the costumiers to get the right fit for the actor. 

Different styles of costumes are provided in theatrical productions and just giving 'street clothes' sizes will not ensure that the actor/actress gets a good fit. 

So "38 Regular" is insufficient.
We prefer sizes in inches but can cope with other measurements. Here is a handy conversion page.
