How uniform sizes work
School shirts and sweaters in Pakistan are usually sized by chest measurement in inches (for example 24, 26, 28). Trousers and skirts are sized by waist and length. Always compare with the size your child wears now.
Measuring at home
- Chest: measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, over a thin shirt
- Waist: measure around the natural waist, keeping the tape comfortably loose
- Length: measure from the waist to the ankle along the outside of the leg
- Add about 2 inches of room to the chest measurement for comfort and growth
Shoes
- Trace your child's foot on paper while standing, then measure heel to longest toe
- Leave about a thumb's width (around 1 cm) of space at the front
- Measure in the evening: feet are slightly larger later in the day
- Velcro straps are easiest for younger children
