How Do You Measure Baby and Children's Clothes Sizes?


Baby sizes can be determined by the age and weight of your baby. Keep in mind though that babies grow and develop at different rates. Clothing for all ages and sizes in Australia can vary from shop to shop so it’s best to take measurements yourself and then compare them to our size guides. You can either measure the actual body or measure a piece of clothing that fits them perfectly. Here’s how to get accurate body measurements for babies and children.

Height: Measure from top of the head to bottom of heel on the foot.

Weight: Weigh baby on scales and take the measurement in kilograms.

Chest:  This measurement should be taken directly under the armpits and span right around the body across the widest part of the chest.

Waist: To measure waist size, wrap the tape measure around the waist at belly button height.

Hips: Children can stand with legs slightly apart and measure around the fullest part of the hips.

Legs: Measure from where the leg joins the body to bottom of heel on the foot.

Size Chart – Children

The age guide is intended for approximate age only – the height is the most important measurement

  • 70 – 6-12 Months
  • 80 – 12-18 Months
  • 90 – 2-3 Years

Before ordering we suggest that you measure the height of your child – measure from the top of the head to the heel

All our children are differently sized, so we size our clothes on height alone. Our clothes are generously sized with plenty of room to grow, so please buy true to size. Each size should fit until the child is ready for the next size up, therefore, there is 10 cm (4 inches) growth in each size so, for example, a size 90 will fit until the child is ready for size 100. If your child is measuring 92/94 then still buy the size 90 as the size 100 in turn will fit up to a 110 and would be huge on a 92/94 size.

The most common reason for return of clothing is because it is too big.

This product has been checked to contain high quality Certified Organic Fabric. An ideal material to be used in baby and children’s clothing and safe to place next to their skin. Specially imported into Australia by Organature.
