Size Guide

Size Guide

Costumes are sized by age, but every kid is different — so use your child's height as the real guide. When they're between sizes, size up.

How to measure

  • Height: stand your child against a wall, no shoes, and measure from the floor to the top of the head.
  • Chest: measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level and snug (not tight).

Match the height first — it's the most reliable. If the height and age don't land on the same size, go by height.

Fit tips

  • Between sizes? Size up. Kids grow fast, and a little extra room lets them wear a warm layer underneath for a cold October night.
  • Onesies and plush costumes (dinosaur, unicorn, dragon, lion, werewolf) run roomy — true to age is usually perfect.
  • Gowns and capes have length to them — the height column is your best guide.
  • Every product's "Size & fit" notes flag anything that runs small or large.
