Cheerleading Uniform Size Guide: Shells, Skirts, Skorts and Dresses

A cheer uniform is usually two pieces, a shell or crop top and a skirt or skort, and each piece has its own size chart. All our cheer styles are made in women’s sizes and girls’ sizes, so one order can cover a senior squad and a junior squad.

This guide shows how to measure shells and skirts, how women’s and girls’ sizes work, and where to find the chart for every cheer style we make. For general sizing advice, see our team uniform size guide.

Cheerleading uniform size guide – how to size cheer shells, skirts, skorts and dresses for women’s and girls’ squads

Women’s and girls’ sizes

Every cheer chart has two tabs: women’s sizes XS to 2XL and girls’ sizes GXS to GXL (G2XL for dresses). Girls’ sizes are cut for junior squads, so use them rather than scaling down a women’s size. Open the cheer uniform size chart to see shell and skirt sizes together.

How to measure a cheer shell or crop top

Lay a shell that fits well on a flat surface and take two measurements:

  • Chest width (A): measure straight across the front, 1 inch below the armholes.
  • Body length (B): from the highest point of the shoulder down to the bottom hem.

Sleeveless, racerback, long-sleeve and crew-neck shells, and our crop tops, each have their own chart. See our cheerleading shells and cheerleading crop tops.

How to measure a cheer skirt or skort

Lay the skirt flat with the waistband relaxed, then measure:

  • Waist (A): measure across the top of the waistband, laid flat and relaxed.
  • Length (B): from the top of the waistband to the hem.

Side-vent and crossover-vent skorts, side-vent skirts and pleated skorts each have their own chart. See our cheerleading skirts and skorts or open the skirt size chart.

Sizing tips for cheer squads

  • Collect shell and skirt sizes separately; a cheerleader can wear a different size in each.
  • Use girls’ sizes for junior squads and women’s sizes for senior squads.
  • Choose the shell style and the skirt style first, then size from those charts.
  • Practice wear has its own chart, so size it separately from the uniform.
  • Sizes can be mixed within our 10-piece minimum per design, and reorders can be below 10 pieces.
