May recital

Costume sizing

Costumes for the May Spring Recital are ordered in January. Please measure before you choose.

  • Girth is the most important measurement when determining costume size.
  • If she falls between sizes, or you are not sure, size up.
  • If she is still growing, add 1.5 to 2 inches to the girth measurement to allow for growth before the recital.
