Sizing
House of Boom is available in sizes 16-30, except for the Jo Jo Jim Jams, which run from 12/14 to 28/30. Please read sizing information carefully as sadly, due to tiny stock numbers, we are unable to offer returns or swaps for items that don't fit. If you're in Wellington or visiting, it may be possible to come and try items on before purchasing - just get in contact.
Generally:
0 = 12/14 (only available for the Jim Jams)
1 = 16/18
2 = 20/22
3 = 24/26
4 = 28/30
(Except for the TIARE skirts, which are all a size too big so a 0 = 16/18)
All items have simple bottoms (tehehe) so they can be easily hemmed if necessary as the Boom fit model (me!) is 181cm tall.
