How to collect sizes for a group clothing order

Australian buying guides

Use the size chart for the exact garment, collect one confirmed response per wearer and check the totals before approval. A familiar size label does not guarantee the same fit across different styles.

Measure a garment in cm

Choose a garment the wearer already likes, lay it flat without stretching it and compare the measurements with the selected product chart. Check whether the chart gives garment measurements or body measurements: these are not interchangeable.

  • Chest width: compare the stated flat-width measurement at the position shown in the chart.
  • Body length: follow the measurement points in that particular chart.
  • Sleeve and shoulder: check these when changing between regular, drop-shoulder or oversized cuts.

Our size guide is a starting point; the product-specific chart is the reference for the order.

Use one order sheet

Keep columns for wearer reference, garment, colour, size and quantity. Record fit preference or a name/number only when the job needs it. Keep personal details out of any publicly shared sheet.

Separate each garment style into its own rows. If someone orders a tee and a hoodie, check the two charts separately. Sum each size and colour, then reconcile those totals against the quoted quantity.

Make changes visible

Choose one organiser to maintain the final list. Give the sheet a version and date, and clearly mark it approved when ready. Send corrections before the order is finalised and tell us exactly what has changed.

For uncertain fits or a large group, consider a physical sample before finalising quantities. A digital artwork proof cannot confirm how a garment fits a wearer.

Junior sizes need their own check

Do not convert a child’s age directly into a size. Where a garment uses height-based labels in cm, use the stated chart and measurements as well. Different kids’ styles can use different labels and proportions.

Browse kids’ apparel and check each chart. If you need adult and junior clothing together, include both ranges in the enquiry rather than assuming they are identical.

Send the checked breakdown

Before approval, check garment, colour, size totals, decoration and any personalised spelling. Keep a copy of the final list with your approved artwork and quote. Read how custom orders work for the next steps.

Common questions

Should everyone order their usual size?

Use the exact product’s chart first. Garments labelled the same size can have different measurements, cuts and intended fits.

Can we add sizes after approval?

Ask us before making changes. Availability, production status and pricing need checking; do not assume a late addition can join an order already in production.
