Bullet Pointe skirts and shorts are designed with flexible, stretch-based waistbands. Use your natural waist measurement as the main starting point, then check the garment-specific chart below. Skirt length varies by size, while shorts also use the hip measurement to help confirm fit.
Bullet Pointe Ballet Skirt Size Chart
Bullet Pointe skirts use a stretch waistband and an asymmetric front-to-back length. Compare your waist measurement first, then use the length columns to understand where the skirt is likely to sit.
| Size | Front Length | Back Length | Waist Stretch |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXS | 8.5" 21.6 cm | 10.5" 26.7 cm | 20–24" 50.8–61 cm |
| XS | 9.5" 24.1 cm | 12" 30.5 cm | 22–25" 55.9–63.5 cm |
| S | 10" 25.4 cm | 12" 30.5 cm | 26–29" 66–73.7 cm |
| M | 10.5" 26.7 cm | 13" 33 cm | 26–29" 66–73.7 cm |
| L | 11.5" 29.2 cm | 13.75" 34.9 cm | 26–34" 66–86.4 cm |
Some Bullet Pointe skirt sizes overlap in waist stretch. When this happens, use the skirt length as the second deciding factor. For example, Small and Medium share the same published 26–29" waist range, but Medium is longer at both the front and back.
Bullet Pointe Shorts Size Chart
For Bullet Pointe shorts, compare both waist and hips. The waistband stretches, while the hip measurement helps indicate how the shorts will sit through the seat and upper body line.
| Size | Waist Stretch | Hips |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–22" 50.8–55.9 cm | 32–34" 81.3–86.4 cm |
| S | 21–23" 53.3–58.4 cm | 34–36" 86.4–91.4 cm |
| M | 23–26" 58.4–66 cm | 36–38" 91.4–96.5 cm |
| L | 26–28" 66–71.1 cm | 38–40" 96.5–101.6 cm |
How to Measure for Bullet Pointe
Measure over underwear, tights or close-fitting dancewear using a flexible tape measure. Keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Waist
Key MeasurementMeasure around your natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape straight and comfortably close to the body.
For Bullet Pointe skirts, compare this measurement with the published waist-stretch range.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the tape level all the way around.
This is particularly useful when choosing Bullet Pointe shorts.
Front Skirt Length
Measure vertically from the point where you expect the waistband to sit down the front of the body. Compare this with the published skirt front length to judge the amount of coverage you prefer.
Back Skirt Length
Measure from the waistband position vertically down the back. Bullet Pointe skirts are longer at the back, creating their characteristic ballet silhouette.
Preferred Fit
Consider how firmly you prefer the waistband to sit and how much skirt coverage you like. Because some Bullet Pointe waist ranges overlap, two sizes may work depending on preferred length and fit.
Bullet Pointe uses highly flexible waistbands, so sizing does not always progress in the same way as standard fitted dancewear. For skirts, use waist stretch first and garment length second. For shorts, compare both waist and hip measurements. If two skirt sizes fall within your waist range, choose according to the length and amount of coverage you prefer.
