Costume Size Guide: Measure Once, Fit Every Time

Nothing ruins costume night like a suit that’s too tight to move in or a cape that drags on the floor. Measuring takes five minutes and saves you from return-shipping headaches — here’s exactly how to do it.

What you’ll need

A soft measuring tape, a friend to help, and the size chart on the product page. Wear thin base layers, stand relaxed, and write down every number.

The three numbers that matter most

  • Chest: tape around the fullest part, arms relaxed at your sides.
  • Waist: around your natural waistline, not where your jeans sit.
  • Height: barefoot, back against a wall — most one-piece suits are cut by height first.

Between sizes? Size up

Costume fabrics rarely stretch like streetwear. If you’re between sizes, take the larger one — you can tailor down, but you can’t add fabric.

Don’t forget the details

Masks need head circumference, gloves need hand length, and capes need shoulder-to-floor. Don’t guess — the chart on each product page lists them, and our 30-day easy returns have you covered if the fit still isn’t right.
