How to Measure
- Chest: Measure across the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest point), keeping the tape relaxed and level.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips, approximately 20 centimetres below the waist, with the tape flat and horizontal.
- Shoulder length: Measure from the top of one shoulder to the top of the other shoulder across the back.
- Leg length (children): Measure from the inside leg seam at the groin down to the ankle bone, with the child standing upright.
- Head circumference (hats): Measure around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears, using a soft tape measure.
- Foot length (shoes): Place the child's or wearer's foot on a flat surface and measure from the heel to the tip of the longest toe in centimetres.

Product-Specific Guidance
Dresses & Skirts
Bobo Choses dresses and skirts run true to size. Children's designs are typically relaxed and playful, offering generous room through the torso and hips for comfort and movement. Measure your child's chest and hips and compare both against the size chart; choose the size that accommodates the larger measurement. Women's dresses and skirts are cut with a contemporary, slightly relaxed silhouette; refer to waist and hip measurements for the best fit, as Bobo Choses often emphasises a flattering drape rather than a tight waist.
Knitwear & Tops
Knitted pieces from Bobo Choses, including jumpers, cardigans, and t-shirts, fit true to size with a comfortable, relaxed finish. For children, measure chest and compare to the relevant age group in the children's clothing table. Women's knitwear typically runs generous through the shoulders and body; if between sizes, size down for a more fitted silhouette or size up for an oversized, contemporary fit. Check the shoulder length measurement for long-sleeved styles to ensure sleeves reach your wrist comfortably.
Trousers & Shorts
Children's trousers and shorts from Bobo Choses are designed with room for active play. Measure your child's waist and inseam (leg length) carefully, as trousers may come with a drawstring waist or fixed sizing. Most children's styles include a degree of slack at the waist to accommodate growth. Women's trousers sit at the natural waist and offer a relaxed, comfortable leg; use both waist and hip measurements and verify the inseam length by comparing to your leg length.
Footwear & Trainers
Bobo Choses children's shoes, including their collaboration with Novesta trainers, fit true to EU sizing. Measure your child's foot length in centimetres whilst they are standing, and compare against the shoe size table. Most children's styles have a small allowance for growth (typically 0.5–1 cm); ensure there is at least a finger's width of space between the longest toe and the shoe's end. Women's shoes tend to run true to European sizing; if your foot length falls between two sizes, size up for comfort, particularly in trainers.
Outerwear & Coats
Bobo Choses jackets and coats are designed to layer comfortably over knitwear and tops. For children, measure chest and cross-reference with the children's sizing table to ensure the coat can accommodate layers. Women's outerwear typically runs slightly roomy; use chest and shoulder length measurements, and note that Bobo Choses coats often feature a relaxed, contemporary silhouette that prioritises ease of movement and layering.
Sizing Tips
- Always measure both chest and hip (for children and women) and compare against the relevant table, as Bobo Choses designs may fit differently across different body widths. Choose the size that accommodates the larger of the two measurements, or size up if your measurements fall between two sizes.
- Bobo Choses children's designs are intentionally relaxed and generous to allow room for growth and active play. If your child is at the top of a size range, you may opt to size up to extend the garment's lifespan.
- For infant and baby pieces, age is a guide only. Measure your baby's actual chest and height, as growth varies significantly; refer to the baby measurements in centimetres first.
- Shoe fitting is critical: always measure foot length in centimetres with the child standing, and allow approximately a finger's width (0.5–1 cm) of space between the longest toe and the shoe's end to accommodate growth and movement.
- Women's knitwear and dresses from Bobo Choses are often cut with a modern, relaxed fit. If you prefer a fitted silhouette, consider sizing down; if you prefer an oversized, contemporary look, size up.
- Check the specific product description, as some pieces (particularly limited editions or collaborations) may have slightly different cut or fit notes.
- The brand's shoulder length measurement is particularly useful for long-sleeved tops and dresses in women's and older children's sizes; compare this to a well-fitting garment you already own to ensure sleeve length is comfortable.
- For hat sizing, head circumference is the only measurement needed. Measure loosely around the widest part of the head; most children's hats offer a stretch range and adjust slightly as the child grows.
