Reference sizing for figure-skating apparel — competition dresses & shirts,
test dresses, trousers, warmups, etc. Sellers list against these labels on
Axelnest. Always compare the seller's measurements with your own body —
sizing varies by brand and cut.
If the listing names a specific brand (e.g. Mondor, ChloeNoel, Jerry's, Edea, Jackson, John Wilson)
— check that brand's own size chart first. Brand sizing can differ by 1–2 in / 3–5 cm
from this general reference, and skate/blade size systems are completely different (US shoe size, EU, mm).

How to measure
Bust / Chest (A): around the fullest part of the chest, with arms relaxed.
Waist (B): around the narrowest part of the natural waist.
Hips (C): around the widest part of the hips / seat. (Women's & Girls)
Girth (D): from the shoulder, down through the inside leg, and back up to the same shoulder — used for leotards & one-piece dresses. (Women's & Girls)
Inseam: from the crotch down the inner leg to the ankle — used for trousers. (Men's & Boys)
Tip: measure over thin clothing with a soft tape held snug but not tight. If you're between sizes, size up — figure-skating apparel is usually stretchy.
