Baby, or kids?
I have seen 18m outfits and 3t outfits from the same retailer that are almost the same size.
Baby clothes are annoying because you can't really try them on, so you may as well buy from a place that has easy returns.
- vel0city 4y agoBaby mostly. I do agree you can't really "try them on" but if you're at the store you can usually size up the clothes pretty close to your actual child. I'm not going for perfect fit with most of their clothes, I'm going for close enough to not immediately fall off or be so uncomfortable they won't wear them or be difficult to remove when needed. And if there's a question of if it'll fit, buy a bit big and they'll wear them soon enough without immediately becoming landfill. You can do that in the store, you can't do that when you're buying online. Better yet, buy used or get hand me downs from friends and family. Instead of sending even more stuff to the landfill, give things a second life. If a friend offers me a box of kids clothing, I'll rarely turn it down if its at least my kids sizes or larger. They'll fit eventually. Once again, does sending most of what you buy immediately to a landfill seem sustainable to you? Does it seem good? If not, why are you supporting it?
