So, I’m making my 4 little granddaughters girl superhero costumes. I’m using the stretch fabrics. My question is, should I make the costumes a size larger than the girls wear, then?
Hi Lourie. This will depend on whether you think they will need to wear their costume over other clothes when trick-or-treating. If not, you should find making the costumes in the sizes that they wear, as the stretch an help accommodate any fit issues. Make sure to take body measurements though and not rely on ready to wear clothing sizes.
Thanks
