How to choose correctly clothing size for the little ones? It is a question that I have heard for many years, since my mother had a children's fashion store for more than 30 years and whenever she could, she could help. The world of sizes is not so easy as it seems, but here are some tips to buy the right size.
The first trick to succeed with size is to look how is each child. Each baby or child has a body, therefore a small 1 year old can use size 2 and another 4. The sizes of children's clothing, usually skip a size. For example: size 1 year, 3 and 5 years. Although it must also be said that there are more and more firms that make clothes of all sizes or that group several sizes (An example: 5 / 6-7 / 8).
As soon as The newborns, children's clothing firms create "first time" or "zero size" collections. Even in some firms they have clothes for premature babies. On many occasions you can find that a size of 6 months is not the same in one brand than another, so we must always look at the size, body and needs of the child. Even within the same fashion brand We can see clothes of the same size that are different.
The clothes should look good, neither too big nor too small. And think that from one size to another, as a general rule, it only goes a few centimeters. If you want the clothes last a little longer (We already know that babies grow very fast), you can always choose clothes a bigger tad. If the pants go long, you can fold them up just like the cuffs of a shirt. Of course, you should never be too baggy. If a dress has fallen short we can add tulle or a lace under the skirt.
