To measure an dancer for a Hornpipe outfit you must get
accurate measurements in inches of the dancer’s waist, hip, inseam of leg, and length
of torso from shoulder to crotch.
To measure a dancer for a skirt you must get accurate measurements in inches, of their waist and length from the waist to the top of their knee. Aboyne skirts will have an extra 3-inch overlap at the waist and 4-inch hem added to allow for growth.
Standard size for a shawl is 36 X 36 inches or 1 meter
square. Smaller shawls will be made to accommodate younger and / or shorter dancers.
To measure a dancer for an Aboyne vest you must measure the dancer’s bust, waist, and one measurement around at the mid point between the dancer’s bust and waist. Length of the vest is determined by measuring from the shoulder seam down the front of the dancer to their waist and from the shoulder seam down the dancer’s back to their waist. If ordering the vest alone (not including a skirt order) measurements should be taken with the skirt on and waist measurement taken over the skirt.
Highland vests follow standard sizes, which can be
determined by using the following size chart. Special order vests are also available
(where a dancer’s measurements do not match stock sizes). There is an added fee for special orders. Please contact Marg regarding all special orders.
The following chart is in inches.
Note: If
you have added growth room to your measurements please indicate where and how much growth
room you have added. Measurements should be
taken with the kilt on. Including the
dancer’s age, height, and body stature helps in making good fitting vests. Please
take a measurement around, just above the dancer’s hipbone (not the fullest part of
the hip, JUST above the bone).
Total Length: Measurement from the top of vest the back
of the dancer’s neck to the bottom of the vest’s point at the dancer’s
back.
