FAQs
What size should I choose?
Our clothes are thoughtfully designed to fit your child for longer, typically lasting through 4 standard size ranges.
We have two sizes
- Little Kids - 3 - 6 years old
- Big Kids - 7 - 10 years old
For Earthlings on the lower end of the age range, the clothes will have a more oversized fit.
For kids who are a true size 6, best to select Big Kids to allow for longevity.
How does this garment 'grow' with my child?
Each piece is thoughtfully designed with growing earthlings in mind. We start with a relaxed, oversized fit across all our garments, and build in clever features to allow for growth:
- Foldable arm and leg cuffs on sweaters and pants.
- A low crotch design on shorts and pants for extra room.
- Adjustable elastic string waistbands for a flexible fit.
- Greater width in our Tee & Sweater.
- A dress that convert into tops as your child grows.
Instead of outgrowing their clothes in just a few months, your child can enjoy their favourite pieces across multiple seasons and growth spurts — saving you money and reducing waste.
