Baby Clothing Sizing - Does One Size Really Fit All?

My first experience buying Wholesale Baby Clothing online was pretty confusing, especially when buying clothing from other countries and trying to understand their sizing. When I stumbled upon this sizing issue I thought it was pretty important to share as it can be confusing if you're buying for your first child or giving baby clothing as a gift.

Fact Number 1... One size doesn't fit all. Ok, this is pretty obvious, but what you may not be aware of is there are different sizing methods dependent on what part of the world you live in, or in my case, what part of the world you're buying Baby Clothing from.

Children's sizing is separated by region/ country and is the standard measurement for that region. This is similar to shoe sizing, women's clothing or different methods of sign language dependent on what part of the world you live in (yes there are different types of sign languages around the world and yes, this is your useless fact for the day).

Baby Clothing Sizes never used to be an issue

This was rarely an issue prior to the Internet as most people were none the wiser and simply purchased based on their countries own standard, but with this transition comes a whole new level of depth to the existing confusion of buying baby clothing for your little loved one.

One of the easiest ways to overcome the confusion is through the use of a Baby and Toddler Sizing Charts that clearly layout the important information based on:

- Age

- Height

- Weight

- Country

- Sizing Method

I remember when my beautiful baby girl came in on the scene were given a number of different outfits including a range of one and 2 piece outfits that had all these different numbers on them.

At that stage we had no idea what the measuring system was and we had to take each one and place them against her to understand what would fit. This actually went on for a while and we had tears from me and my bub, till I stumbled upon a baby sizing chart.

Many tears and a little knowledge later

After the tears I came to understand using a sizing chart in advance is a great tip when considering buying wholesale baby clothing for your own darling daughter or to give as gifts.

So, how do the different sizing standards stack-up?

Here's my take on the different measurements based on country -

Euro Sizing - In my opinion Europe uses one of the best standards, with their standard measuring close to the actual length of your baby (from the top of the head to the heal). Presuming you know the actual height of your child this can be fairly easy to use as a guide, although challenging if your buying clothes as a gift.

Australian Sizing - This would be my second pick of the bunch and would have been my favorite if it wasn't for the sizing prior to 12 months (with sizing 0000, 000, 00 and 0 can be a bit confusing). From 12 months onwards the sizing of your child matches the age (if your daughter were 2, you would buy size 2 clothing and so on). This of course doesn't always match, but as a general guide is a lot easier if you're looking at buying clothing as a gift.

UK and USA sizing - These are fairly similar till your child reaches 24 months at which time they change over to a strange measurement slightly out of alignment with your child's age and with the introduction of additional letters. If you don't have kids and you're buying as a gift or this is your first time you may find your self a little confused.

When looking at any sizing charts always use a combination or height, weight and age to determine the best size and if in doubt buy the next size up, especially when your darling daughter is fairly young. If you buy a little larger they'll grow into their little outfit. In the first 6 months there's nothing worse than getting a gift only to discover it's too small or will only get one wearing, especially if they are going through a growth spurt.

Wholesale Baby Clothes Selling Like Hotcakes

Baby clothes will always be in demand even if they grow up so quickly. Parents always want their children to look their best. So, selling wholesale baby clothes is a great idea if you want to make money online or through retail. Here are some things to get you started.

Type of Clothes

You can choose from knitted clothes, statement clothes or baby costumes. Organic clothes are also a good option because these are considered safe for the baby. Statement clothes are cute and funny and parents will have a fun time clothing their children with different pieces.

Buying wholesale baby clothes is quite easy. The hard part is finding a reputable supplier. You have to search for suppliers. Keep a list of them and compare prices. Ask for price quotations. You also have to research whether these suppliers are trustworthy enough.

Even if the supplier offers you a huge discount if you get large quantities, still opt for the smallest package the supplier can give you. You're still new and you're still testing the waters. If your business starts to pick up pace, then that's the time you purchase huge quantities.

Planning a marketing strategy

Before you start out, you should already have a market strategy in mind. Online selling is rather popular so if you're decided on selling your goods online, then plan that out. Your site should look inviting and be user-friendly.

If you have an offline shop, then make your products well-known through advertising. Your target is the parents so you should go to places like the hospital. You can make an interesting flyer and hand it to the parents.

Whatever your plan is, keep in mind that running a business requires patience and time before you can finally hit it off.
