Size guide
How to find your child’s size:
Measure your child without clothes or with a slim undershirt and underwear. Find the measurements in table below and read the best fitting size. All clothing is added extra width for movement.
Follow chest width for tops and dresses and follow waist and hip width for bottoms.
At Småfolk we produce clothing following Scandinavian measurement chart, which is to the bigger size due to our height average.
We always recommend buying clothes and accessories consistent with the child’s age.
How to measure your child:
How to measure your child:
1. Height
Place your child against a wall with legs together and measure from top of head to floor.
2. Chest
Measure around the chest, right below the armpit where the child is widest. The child must stand with arms relaxed along the sides.
3. Waist
Measure around the waist, the narrowest place on the upper body. The child must stand with arms relaxed along the sides.
4. Hip
Measure around the hip, the widest place on the bottom.
5. Inner leg length
Measure from crotch to floor, along the leg.
6. Head circumference
Measure around the head, at the widest place. The measurement must be taken tight around the head.
7. Length of hand
Measure from wrist to fingertip, along the back of the hand.
8. Length of foot
Measure the length from heel to tip of the big toe. The child must be standing up so the weight is distributed correctly on the foot, when placing the child's foot on top of a measuring tape it becomes easier to read.
To give the child a little room for growing, add 1½ cm to the measurement and choose a size equivalent to the length of the inner sole in the table below.
Baby 0-3 years
Baby 0-3 years
Baby sizes are indicated in relation to the height of the child. If your child e.g. measures 74 cm in height, it corresponds to our size 6-9 months.
At Småfolk we also sell clothes for premature babies, down to size 32.
Swimwear: Småfolk's swimwear is slightly smaller in size compared to our regular clothes. It is therefore recommended to go up a size if you are in doubt.
All measurements are given in centimeters.
