Made to Measure Girls' Gowns | Calgary & Ballerini

Made to Measure

Every Calgary and Ballerini gown is drafted from your daughter's own measurements, so it is made for her and no one else. The charts below show typical measurements by age as a guide, but her gown is never cut from a chart. It is cut from her.

The Five Measurements We Need

Measure her standing straight in light clothing, with the tape snug but not tight.

1. Shoulder to floor: from the top of the shoulder, where a strap would sit, straight down to the floor.
2. Chest: around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms.
3. Waist: around her natural waist, the narrowest point.
4. Shoulder to waist: from the top of the shoulder down to the natural waist.
5. Waist to knee: from the natural waist down to the center of the knee.

For babies, take the measurements while she is standing or held upright. If anything is unclear, send us a photo on WhatsApp and our atelier will guide you: wa.me/13058427025

Made for a Child, Not a Mannequin

Every gown is lined with our signature No-Itch Silk-Touch lining and fully finished inside, with no exposed seams. We never use shedding glitter, hoops, wires or glue. An adjustable lace-up back lets the gown grow with her through the next birthday, portrait and celebration.

The Fit Record

Fewer than 1 in 400 of our gowns has ever needed an adjustment.
