• Measuring Tips
• Have the Cheerleader wear a bodysuit or
  one-piece swimsuit and cheer shorts for accurate
  measuring. Do not measure over street clothes.
• Measure to the nearest 1/2 (no ¼ or ¾).
• Chest Be sure the tape is straight across the
  back. Arms are to be down beside the body.
• Waist Measure the narrowest portion of the
  NATURAL waist. Remember (or mark) this location
  for the Back-Waist Length (BWL) and the
  Waist-to-Knee Length (WKL).
• Hips Measure the fullest part of the hips
  (approx. 8 below the NATURAL waist / navel).
• BWL (Back-Waist Length)
• Measure from the tip of the most prominent bone
  at the base of the neck to the NATURAL waistline.
  The cut of the shell top will have the
  overlapping material automatically added. Just
  provide the exact measurement no additions.
• WKL (Waist-to-Knee Length)
• Measure from the NATURAL waistline down and over
  the buttocks to the crease on the back of the
  knee (the natural fold or crease where the knee
  bends).
• NATURAL WAIST
• This one issue must be treated properly and
  planned for in advance. The NATURAL waistline is
  across the navel. We do not want our Muth Youth
  Cheerleaders to have an open midriff or belly
  show uniform.
• If a girl wants (needs) to wear her skirt below
  the NATURAL waist this causes three measurement
  changes. The easiest, most reliable fit is to
  remind the girls that TRADITIONAL cheerleading
  waistbands are at the NATURAL waist and the shell
  overlaps the waist band. Deviations from this
  TRADITION may become a trial-and-error process
  during your fitting appointment. Answer the
  following question on page one. Will your
  cheerleader wear her skirt at the NATURAL
  waistline?
• Inseam Be sure to do this with a pair of
  cheerleading type shoes on. The very best way to
  measure this is to measure the inseam on an
  existing pair of pants (not stretch pants) that
  fit the person best.
• Arm Span Simply stand with both arms fully
  extended sideways at shoulder height (a spread
  eagle look). A second person needs to measure
  from one wrist across the back to the other
  wrist. This will give the most reliable
  measurement for the WARM UP JACKET.
