You will need the following measurements: Waist, Rise, Inseam. For a soaker you will also want the thigh measurement.
For wool measurements you need to have your child's diaper on when measuring. If you will be using the wool item at night, ensure that you measure over the bulky night-time diaper or the wool will be too tight.
Waist: Measure around the waist at the level where you want the top of the wool garment to sit. Measuring tape should be snug but not tight.
Rise: This is the distance from the top of the waistband in the front, through the legs, to the top of the waistband in the back. Put the start of the measuring tape at the top of baby's diaper...near belly button area. Bring the tape down the front of the diaper, through the legs and back up over the bum of the diaper. Finish your measurement at the top of the diaper on baby's back.
Inseam: From the gusset area of the diaper (right between the legs) measure down the inside of the leg to where you want the bottom of the hem to fall.
Thigh: Measure around the thigh at the point where the soaker cuff would sit. Again, the tape needs to be snug but not tight.
