Disney kids size chart

1. Measure your child's height without shoes, standing against a wall.
2. Find that height in the Height column, or enter it in the size finder on this page. The size on that row is the one the brand's chart gives for that height.
3. If the height is at the edge of a range, or between two sizes, look at the other measurements the chart lists, such as chest and waist, and compare them with your child's. In the Outgrow app you can enter your child's measurements and get a full size check.
4. Age labels are only a guide. Each size on the chart is listed with a height range.

Disney's number sizes against the typical brand's

In Disney's table of number sizes, the typical range for a label is the median lowest height and the median highest height of that label across the charts compared, and the difference is the middle of Disney's range minus the median of the middles of those charts' ranges. Charts compared is the number of brands' charts in our data that publish the same label and count towards these figures. About the same means a difference of 1 cm or less, slightly lower or slightly higher means more than 1 cm and less than 2 cm, and lower or higher means 2 cm or more.

Disney's chest, waist and hip against the average at the same height

Disney's figures are the average difference, over simulated children, between Disney's chart and the average of the charts in our data that give the same measurement at the same height. About the same means less than 0.5 standard deviations of all brands' differences away from their average, slightly wider or slightly narrower means 0.5 to less than 1 standard deviation, which is within the usual spread, and a clear difference means 1 standard deviation or more, the level the study uses. Brands compared is the number of brands whose figures for that measurement enter the comparison. The figures compare chart measurements and say nothing about how clothes fit.

A size covers a range of heights, not one height. The wider the range, the further apart two children in the same size can be.

Half of Disney's sizes cover 7.6 cm or more, against 6 cm at the typical brand. Two children in the same size can be 7.6 cm apart in height.

On Disney's chart, size 4 covers 10.2 cm (96.5-106.7). Two children in this size can be 10.2 cm apart, so check the measurements as well as the label.

Sizes are meant to follow each other. Where a chart leaves a gap, overlaps, or takes a larger step, a child's height can fall between two sizes.

On Disney's chart, from size 4 (from 96.5 cm) to size 5 (from 106.7 cm) is a step of 10.2 cm, against 6 cm at the typical brand.

A chart starts and ends at certain heights. A child outside that range is outside the chart.

Disney's chart ends at 157.5 cm (size 14). Taller children will need another brand.

These figures relate a size's height range to typical growth on paper. They describe the size label, not how long a garment is worn.

On paper, Disney's size 4 covers 10.2 cm, against 7.2 cm for the typical size 4. At typical growth, 10.2 cm is about 18 months and 7.2 cm about 13 months. A wider range also means two children in the same size can be further apart in height. Months of typical growth describe the size label, not how long a garment is worn.

Height is the main measurement on most charts. Some brands also publish chest, waist, hip or inseam, which allow a child's own measurements to be compared with the chart.

Disney publishes chest, waist and weight, so you can compare more than height.

Shoe sizes as published by Disney. They are not part of our comparison of 72 brands' size charts, and the brand can change them, so check the brand's own chart before buying.
