Step 1
If you want to purchase clothes for a child, first decide on its size. It is important that the clothes are perfect for the little person. It should not hang from it or be overly tight.
Step 2
First, measure your child's height. This is the most important indicator to be guided by. Russian manufacturers of children's clothing indicate it as a size. Try to choose clothes so that the child's height value is 2-5 centimeters less than its size value. Otherwise, the baby will grow out of it very quickly.
Step 3
Some foreign manufacturers produce products that are sized for a specific age. For example, there are clothes designed for babies from 0 to 3 months, from 3 to 6 months, from 6 months to one year, from one to two years, and so on. In this case, it is very easy to make a mistake with the choice of the size. All children have individual growth rates. What is suitable for one baby at 6 months may be great for another even at the age of one year.
Step 4
If you want to buy clothes for a child, on which the age is indicated as the size, be sure to try them on the baby before buying, if possible. You can also evaluate it visually by comparing it with the clothes that are already in the child's wardrobe.
Step 5
Try to buy clothes of the same brands if you are satisfied with its price and quality. Size ranges from different manufacturers may have the same values, but in practice, the parameters of blouses, pants, overalls may differ significantly from each other.
Step 6
When determining the size of clothes for older children, take into account not only their height, but also their waist and chest girth. For example, a thin child can choose clothes one size smaller if the chosen model is of sufficient length.
Step 7
When choosing hats, be guided not by the height of the child, but by the circumference of the head. Most clothing manufacturers indicate this parameter only as an additional indicator.
