What costume size should I order?
Each product detail page has approximate size information for that costume but it's important to remember that unlike every day clothing fancy dress costumes are designed and made to fit a wide variety of sizes. If in doubt, we would recommend that it's usually best to order a larger size. It's worth noting that the main reason for returned items is because the costume was too small for the customer.
