When buying or selling clothing internationally choosing the correct size can be a minefield. Even if the actual size of a garment is the same, the way sizes are displayed can vary by just a few numbers or even a whole different set of numbers which only adds to the confusion. Here at Dutch Label Shop, we have created size conversion charts that you can keep handy to refer back to when needed. Our size conversion charts will help you quickly find the correct size when online shopping, or perfect for when you need to label garments for customers around the world.
Size Conversions Are For Sellers Too
Make it easy for your customers to buy! Displaying size conversions on your website is a helpful option for customers to refer to in case they are more familiar with a different sizing standard. This gives customers more of the information they need to purchase right at their fingertips without having to navigate away from your website.
Please note, size conversion charts are a guideline and exact sizing can differ from brand to brand, so for the most accurate way make sure to include precise measurements when listing products online.
International Size Conversion Chart – Infants (0-24 Months)
Depending on where you are based, baby and childrens clothes can be sized quite differently to what you might be used to. In The UK and US sizes are dictated by age (first month, then years) compared with Europe which often prefers to use the child's height (in centimeters) for sizing.

As there are no international standards for sizing, converting sizes is used as an estimate only. If you have any confusion regarding sizing, you can contact the manufacturer for specific measurements or clarification. At DLS, we sell a large range of size labels for whatever your size requirements are, so make sure to check those out.
