Taking measurements for MK Maryla First Communion pants isn't difficult—all you need is a measuring tape and a little time with your child.
To place the order correctly, you’ll need three measurements:
- Measure the waist
circumference using a tape measure at the narrowest part of the waist, at the level of the navel—this is where the waistband of the pants will ultimately sit - Measure the hip
circumference at the widest part of the hips—it’s best to place the tape measure where you think it’s widest, then move it up and down to check if that’s actually the widest spot - Child’s
height: Measure the child’s height without shoes, from the feet to the top of the head.
These three measurements are all you need to choose the right size.
Start by comparing the hip circumference and waist circumference—if the difference is more than 6 cm, choose the “regular” fit; if the difference is less than 6 cm, choose straight-leg pants.
Next, compare the hip circumference to the size chart—the hip circumference is more important than the waist circumference, since the waist has an adjustable elastic band and a difference of 1–2 cm here won’t make a noticeable visual difference. Try to choose a size so that your hip circumference is as close as possible to the midpoint of the hip circumference range. The size ranges are 4 cm and overlap.
For example, for a hip measurement of 79 and a regular body type, you can choose either size 71.5 or 74.5 —both sizes will fit very well and look great on your child, though the 71.5 size will have a more form-fitting cut, while we recommend the 74.5 size for children who don’t like clothes that cling tightly to the body.
