who the monstrous children are whose measurements are used by Rubie's Costume Company when they make children's Halloween costumes. Seriously. The sleeves on the girls' costumes are nearly 6 INCHES too long. 6 INCHES! If their arms were that long, their fingers would be below their knees. Yes, the costumes are size 4-6, and my girls are petite in the weight category, but sleeves on size 6 shirts and dresses generally fit them.
Oh, and the belt for Ryan's Clone Trooper costume is 32 inches. 32INCHES! My full grown husband who is nearly 6 feet tall has a 34 inch waist. The costume is for BOYS, size 8-10. And the smallest that the belt can be made without covering up some of the "gadgets" is 28 inches. The costume fits him quite nicely through the body, but the belt won't stay up even if I attach it around his shoulders. And this has been a problem EVERY SINGLE YEAR with these types of belts. Even on the smaller sizes.
So I would like to see these 42"-46" tall children whose arms dangle below their knees with waists the diameter of a grown man. Seriously. What were they thinking when they sized these?!

After reading your comments, we've opted for the smaller sized costume for Ally this year! Ha ha! Looking forward to seeing what you do with Ryan's utility belt...
