Costume Size Charts

Most of our costumes are available in different sizes. In order to supply our customers with the most diverse and high quality range of costumes available, our costumes are sourced from a variety of manufacturers, with sizes varying slightly across each manufacturer.

We have therefore devised size guides devoted to 2 of our main manufactures Smiffy's and Rubies, and then a 3rd size chart applies as a general guide to all other costumes.

Which Guide Do I Need?

To work out which guide you need, take a look at costume's product page and make a note of the item code. If the item code begins with "ASM" you need our Smiffy's guide (CHART 1), if the item code begins with "ARU" you need our Rubies guide (CHART 2), if the item code begins with anything else, you should use our general guide (CHART 3).
