Uniform Fitting Tips

Uniform Fittings are usually around this time of the year. They're rushed orders for cheer camp and it's probably really crazy. How do fittings work? For my squad we go in the gym and there's tables with tons of skirts, shells, liners, jackets, camp wear, etc. all over. You just start changing into whatever you have to and have the VARSITY rep write down your sizes and then take your form. Here's a few tips when getting fitted!

1. Don't Be Shy

Sure you're undressing in front of people you barely know but it's just like P.E in middle school. Just do what you have to do and get out of there.

2. Don't Wear A Thong

If you have to change in the open (like my squad) then you shouldn't have your cheeks exposed. If you wear thongs on a daily basis I'm sure skipping one day won't kill you. It might also make other people uncomfortable even if you're not.

3. Size It Right

Make sure to try EVERYTHING on! Even if you know your shorts and shirt size try it on any ways because it will really suck when it's time to wear your clothes and nothing fits. Don't be embarrassed then try it all on.

4. If the Shoe Fits
 
Try on all pairs of the shoes. If you have a new brand this year maybe the sizes are different so make sure you get the right size. What I like to do is do a toe touch or two to see if you're loose. I also walk around in them for a minute just to test them out.
 
 
What's usually included in your uniform?
It depends on your squad's supplier. My squad is supplied by Varsity like most here's what it usually covered in your cost.

-Shell (the top)
-Skirt
-Liner (the removable long sleeve part)
-bloomers (for under the skirt)
-Cheer Shoes (nike)
-Warm-Up Jacket
-Sweatpants
-3 Camp wear shirts
-2 Camp wear bottoms
-1 hair bow
-2 pom-poms

Hope all of these short tips help you with your fittings. Have a great season in your uniform!

Love,
A Cheerleader

  1. These are great tips. You hit the nail on the third one. Some people feel really confident and not bother to try even just a uniform on, because they feel lazy or shy changing clothes. Trying out clothes also lets you know if you feel a certain part, like the neck or arm, needs to be adjusted, since not all people are built the same way.
