DWC Kids Tights Sizing Guide
Kids grow fast, and choosing the right tights should be simple. Our Kids Universal Tights Size Matrix gives you a reliable starting point using height and weight. Pair it with brand-specific notes for the best fit from toddler sizes through pre-teen.
How to Measure
For kids' tights, height and weight provide the best sizing guidance. When a child falls between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort and durability. If your dancer has a fuller hip or longer torso, sizing up can ensure a better overall fit.
