Measuring Guide for Girl’s Leggings and Bottoms
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, typically just above the belly button. Make sure she is standing straight and relaxed, with the tape snug but not tight.
- Hip: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of the hips and buttocks. For best results, have her stand with her feet together, and ensure the tape is level.
- Inseam: Measure from the inner thigh down to the ankle. If unsure, it helps to have her wear a pair of well-fitting pants and measure along the inner seam from crotch to hem.
- Full Length: Measure from the waist to the ankle, following the outer side of the leg. This helps in choosing leggings or pants that reach the desired length.
Tips for Choosing the Right Leggings and Bottoms for Girls
- Fabric: For younger children, soft, stretchy cotton is ideal for comfort. Older girls may prefer more form-fitting leggings or trendy fabrics like denim or spandex blends.
- Style: Leggings with elastic waistbands are convenient for babies and toddlers, while older children may enjoy styles with adjustable waists or decorative details.
- Allow Room for Growth: Kids grow quickly, so consider leggings that offer a bit of stretch or are slightly longer than needed.
- Seasonal Selection: Lightweight leggings work well for layering in warmer months, while thicker fabrics are best for colder weather.
- Activity Level: If she is very active, choose durable materials like cotton or cotton blends with reinforced stitching, which will withstand frequent washing and wear.
