Children can vary so much in size even if they are the same physical age, so its really important to work to your child's measurements for accuracy. Pass the tape measure around their chest and back, then their natural waist, finally measure from their shoulder to the floor taking shoes into account. Bridesmaid dresses can be worn full length or ballerina length subject to preference, but we advise that the dress is not left to hang onto the floor as children tend to rush around more and may be at risk of standing on the hem and tripping, so at least 3" up off the floor will be best. If your child is tall and slim you may need to purchase the dress long enough with a view to having the dress taken in on the side seams OR purchase so the dress is comfortable on the chest and waist but falls at ballerina/shin length. For broader and not so tall bridesmaid you will need to purchase the best fitting size for chest and waist but please be aware that you may have a gown that is too long so alterations to re-hem may be necessary. All of our children's bridesmaid dresses are made to the following sizing chart. Please don't be afraid to ask for help. INCHES | Age 2 | Age 4 | Age 6 | Age 8 | Age 10 | Age 12 | Age 14 | Chest | 22 1/2 | 24 | 25 1/2 | 28 | 30 | 32 | 34 | Waist | 20 | 21 1/2 | 23 | 25 | 27 | 29 | 31 | Shoulder to floor | 26 | 30 | 34 | 38 | 42 | 46 | 50 |
