How to Size a Teenager for Dress Clothes

Size Guides

Many items of School Uniform are sold as a specific size not by age – if you are used to buying by age we advise that you measure your child and check the age / inch comparison Size Guide below.

Garment sizes in inches are a "to fit" size, therefore if your child measures a 26″ chest we would advise you to order a 26″ chest as garments are made to fit that chest size – only order a larger size if you are allowing room for growth.

Here's a short video containing helpful tips and advice for measuring your child and ordering the right school uniform.

Banner Premier LC Knitwear (jumpers and cardigans)

Please note the fitted, shorter style of this knitwear. If your child prefers a longer. looser fit you will need to order a larger size. Please check the size chart below which gives actual dimensions of the garment.
