GRADUATES SCHOOLWEAR
Find the perfect fit first time. We recommend measuring your child rather than going by age alone — children grow at different rates and measurements give a much more accurate result.

BEFORE YOU START
You only need a flexible tape measure and a few minutes. Take measurements over light clothing and write them down before heading to our size charts below.
Stand without shoes on a flat floor. Measure from the top of the head down to the floor in a straight line.
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Stay relaxed, don’t hold your breath!
Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Stay relaxed, don’t hold your breath!
Put shoes on and stand naturally. Measure from the crotch down the inner leg to where trousers would normally finish, usually about 1 inch from the floor.
For boys’ shirts only. Measure around the base of the neck where the collar would naturally sit when worn.
Measure from where the skirt would sit (usually between the waist and hips) down to where you’d like it to finish.
Always measure, never guess by age. David Luke size charts use actual body measurements rather than age, because children of the same age can vary significantly in build. If your child falls between two sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for trousers and blazers to allow for growth. Our team in store are always happy to advise.
