How does children's clothing fall from these popular brands?
How is Aliexpress children's clothing fall?
In their size chart there are a number of remarks, namely that the sizes can differ and it is Asian size.
I always read the table or and take a measuring tape myself and take all my measurements.
In this case you only need to record three bars; chest, length and sleeve. You can then check these sizes with the size table.
Chances are that you will end up with a 2XL. This is because Asian people are a lot smaller than Europeans and therefore have different sizes.
It is often very confusing which size to order. You never know whether the sizes apply to the Chinese or to Europeans. And this is very frustrating at times.
If in doubt, my advice is to contact the seller anyway, you can ask your question in English and you will usually get an answer quickly in (often not too good) English.

How does B Nosy fall?
The B Nosy brand is a new Dutch brand that is doing very well among children's clothing brands. The popular brand has very trendy children's and baby clothes.
Opinions on how B Nosy's children's clothes fall are diverse.
Most people find that the brand fits exactly to size and has a slim fit.
For example, if you buy a winter coat for your 9-year-old daughter, a size 134 (which in principle should belong to this age) would be much too narrow and the sleeves would also be too short.
However, other users find that the sizes are varied. For this brand, it is recommended to choose a size larger than the size in which your child now falls.
The available sizes of B Nosy go from 62 to 86 for the babies and from 92 to 164 for the bigger kids.

Determine the correct size for your child
If you want to determine the size of your son or daughter, it is best to measure the sizes of, for example, a pair of pants or sweater that fits him or her well at the moment.
Buying children's clothing, especially if you have several kids, can be a crime, as the Bellinga's show:
How do you measure the size of your child?
Or even better, you can measure the height of your child yourself. How do you do that?
- Have your child stand upright with their back to the wall.
- At the top of the head, place a mark with a piece of chalk.
- Then have the child step to the side and measure the height from the ground to the mark.
Do you want to determine the trouser size? Then measure the hip size; you measure this at the widest part of the hips. This includes the buttocks. How do you do that?
- Let your child stand upright in only his underwear.
- Grab a tape measure and wrap it around his waist.
- Slide the measuring tape to the fullest part of the hips up to the buttocks.
- Read the size and add about 2,5 to 5 cm for a slightly looser fit
- If you come to half numbers, round up.
Include children's clothing sizes
When taking the measure, this happens directly on the body. That way you always have the right size.
- Chest width: is measured at chest height around the body.
- Waist width: is measured at the height of the navel around the body where the waist is narrowest.
- Hip width: is measured at the hip around the body where the hip is widest.
For long pants, measure from the inside leg length vertically down to the ankle. From the outside, start at the hip vertically down to the ankle.
Keep in mind that every child is different and can therefore always deviate slightly from the established sizes.
Clothing sizes differ in measured values with other countries
The Dutch clothing sizes differ from the American clothing sizes.
In the Netherlands the sizes are based on the height of the child (in cm), but in America the sizes are based on the age of the child.
American clothing sizes
With American clothing sizes, especially for babies, the size is indicated in months.
You will then see on the label: a number with an M (short for 'Months') behind it.
An exception to this are sizes P ('Preemie'), for premature babies and NB ('Newborn'), for newborn babies.
The US baby clothing sizes (for babies 0-24 months) are as follows:
US size | Age (months) | Length baby (cm) | Similar European size |
P | Premature | all 43 | 44 |
NB | 0 | all 55 | 50 in 56 toy |
3M | 0 3 | 55 61 | 62 |
6M | 4 6 | 61 67 | 68 |
9M | 7 9 | 67 72 | 74 |
12M | 10 12 | 72 78 | 80 |
18M | 13 18 | 78 83 | 80 in 86 toy |
24M | 19 24 | 83 86 | 86 |
The US Toddler sizes are as follows:
US size | Age (years) | Length child (cm) | Similar European size |
2T | 2 | 88 93 | 92 |
3T | 3 | 93 98 | 98 |
4T | 4 | 98 105 | 104 |
5T | 5 | 105 110 | 110 |
Size chart of the children's clothing brand
Usually, most online web shops have a size table in which you can easily read the size based on the height or age of the child.
European size | Abbreviation |
128 | XS |
140 | S |
152 | M |
164 | L |
176 | XL |
188 | XXL |
In America, completely different sizes are used for children's clothing, just as with clothing for adults.
Where we base children's clothing sizes on the height of the child, in America it is based on age.
Baby clothing is based on the number of months (indicated with an M for months), then toddler clothing (indicated with a T, from the English word Toddler), and children's clothing is also based on the number of years.
Sometimes the abbreviation CM is behind the number, this of course stands for centimeter. European sizes always differ by 6 centimeters, and Chinese sizes always differ by 7 centimeters.
The numbers are therefore not quite the same. It does mean that your child can do a little longer with the size.
Often a double size is shown for outerwear, for example 66/44. 66 indicates the length measurement, and 44 the width.
If your child is a bit chubby, you can choose a slightly wider size. This is different for every brand and size, so there is not always a choice here.
A different system was chosen in Australia than ours. Especially the sizes of baby clothes are special, because they are indicated with zeros.
The largest size of baby clothes is indicated with 0, which is comparable to our size 74.
The more zeros and numbers, the smaller the size. This goes up to clothing for premature babies, the smallest size is 0000000, which is comparable to our size 40.
So you cannot immediately see what the right size is for your baby, you will have to count zeros. Although it is useful to remember that more zeros represent a smaller size.
Children's clothing
Australian sizes of children's clothing are also confusing. These are shown with the maximum age at which the garment can be worn.
For example size 10, can be worn until your child is 10 years old.
This can be quite confusing, so some clothing brands use a double size, for example 8/10, which indicates that the size is for children aged 8-10.
This is again very confusing, because sizes are not shown in height but in age, and children can have very different heights.
Also pay attention to physique
Regardless of the height and age of the child, the physique is also important to consider.
If the child is slightly heavier, it is useful to choose clothes of a larger size and material that yields.
Buy children's clothes on the growth
It is not surprising that children's clothing is not bought exactly to size due to the inevitable fact that children grow to their 18 years.
It is good to know that children basically grow a few centimeters every six months.
On the basis of this you will therefore notice that a sweater or pants that you may have bought only three months ago suddenly no longer fit.
This does not have to be due to the brand or the material of the product, but can simply mean that the child has just gone through a growth spurt.
If you notice this, it is good to hold on to this moment and take this into account when purchasing clothes next.
Children's clothing size chart
Children grow up quickly and clothing must be replaced regularly.
Of course you keep in mind that when purchasing new clothes, the different sizes are taken into account.
It is important that the clothing is always comfortable and comfortable. The children must of course be able to move freely and happily. The correct size plays a major role in this.
From baby to teenage years you will therefore have to take the right size into account.
Until about age 5, the sizes for boys and girls will not differ that much.
Since the physique between boys and girls will change, the sizes for boys and girls will also differ.
The difference will mainly be in hip development, especially in girls.
For some clothes you can often buy a size bigger. For example with long pants.
So it can last a little longer as long as the hip fits well, but the legs are a bit long, which you can easily take in and detach again as the child grows a little longer.

Combine sizes so they can play well
It is also useful to know that children have a narrower lower body than the upper body. Children have narrower hips and thighs.
For this reason, many parents choose a top that is the right size for the child, based on the age or body size, but the trousers are taken a size smaller. Playing with pants that are too wide or too long is very restrictive.
You can easily determine the pants size on the basis of the hip size instead of on the basis of age or height.
If you bought by age and the pants are too big, most children's pants have handy adjustment systems on the inside with elastic and buttons.
This is a very practical invention, which parents like us always like, so that nothing slips down during play well with your child.
If it doesn't look like it, all you have to do is return the pants and buy a smaller size.
Or you can keep the pants and wait until the pants will fit the child.
Do shoes have the same sizes everywhere?
No. Shoes also have different size charts in each country.
Although the fit of shoes is always different, and it is therefore better to try on shoes in a store before purchase, you can also order shoes online or get them if you do not have your child with you.
Foot length is measured from the heel to the end of the big toe. It is best to measure the foot with a ruler.
Place it on the floor next to your child's foot while your child is standing still.
Each size increases by 0,6 or 0,7 centimeters.
Buy children's clothes
