Sizing Guide

Dancewear sizing can vary between brands and even within different clothing ranges for a particular brand.  The following information is our guideline for both clothing and footwear, but if you are in any doubt, please don't hesitate to contact us using one of the methods outlined at http://www.dancewearuniverse.co.uk/contact-us/info_2.html and we will be glad to provide advice.
 
 
LEOTARDS
 
The sizing of leotards can vary between brands and manufactures.
 
We have used our experience of fitting children for almost thirty years to size each individual garment according to the age of clothes you would normally buy for the child. For example if you usually buy age 8 to 9 clothes then any of our age 8 to 9 leotards will fit no matter who the manufacturer is.
 
This makes it easier to buy the correct size and avoids the complications of the strange sizing used by dancewear manufacturers.
 
 
FOOTWEAR
 
Shoes size adjustments are recommended against your normal UK shoe size. Equivalent adjustments should be made for international sizes.
