4. Waist - Go around the regular waist.
5. You need to add 1-2 inches to your own measurements for chest and waist for ease of wear.
You might find that chest and waist of the dress a bit bigger than what you need . The sash on the sides of the dress can be tied into a bow to make the dress look fitted or you can have it taken in a bit by a seamstress.
In the event that your child's chest and waist is larger than the dress, you will need to get a bigger size and have the dress shortened instead.
