I am doing a sewing project for a school play making basic tunics for
grades K and 1. I am working w/o a pattern and cannot possibly take
measurements for all 100 children. Does anyone know of a sizing chart
based on age that I can use as a guide. Any other suggetsions on how to
do this mass project would be appreciated. I am definatley not a
dressmaker, and a novice sewer.
Thanks.

Can you measure the shortest child and the tallest?

Do they still line up the kids by height in school? If so, measure the
shortest and tallest, and the maximum and minimum diameters among
a representative few. If the school thinks this might be somehow disruptive
or "size-ist", could they trace the outlines of all the kids on a sheet of
newsprint, and you could then see your size ranges?

A school with a lot of kids with a, say, Japanese genetic
background is likely to have a different sample size and distribution among
the kids than a school with a population from Scandanavian countries.
And neither school will probably accurately map to the "average" sizes of
all US kindergarteners.

I assume these will be simple t-tunic type garments, and they can either
be belted to take up excess length, or quickly turned up and staple-hemmed
at school?
