Performance Figure Skating Top Sizing Guide

To ensure a perfect fit for figure skating tops, accurate measurements are key. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you measure:

Chest

• Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, and across the shoulder blades.
• Keep the tape measure comfortably snug without squeezing.

Shoulder Width

• Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other across the top of your back.
• This will help ensure the top fits well across the shoulders.

Sleeve Length (for long sleeves)

• Measure from the top of the shoulder down the outside of the arm to the wrist.
• Keep the arm slightly bent while measuring to account for natural movement.

Top Girth

• Take your tape measure, place it at the center of the shoulder, bring it down through the crotch and back up again.

Waist Measurement

• Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the smallest part of your waist (typically just above the belly button).
• Make sure the tape is snug but not tight, and keep the tape parallel to the floor.

Hip Measurement

• Measure around the fullest part of your hips, which is typically around the widest point of your glutes.
• Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight, ensuring the tape remains level.

Tips for Best Fit

• When measuring, ensure the tape is level and not twisted.
• Wear form-fitting clothes or undergarments for more accurate measurements.
• Consider the fabric’s stretch when choosing the size; some fabrics may give more flexibility than others.

By using these measurements and considering your personal preferences for fit, you’ll ensure your figure skating leggings provide both comfort and performance. Measurements may vary 1-2cm / 0.5in due to manual measuring.
