Activity Title: CHARACTERISTICS OF A WELL FITTED CHILDRENS WEAR
I. Introductory Concept

When selecting clothing for childrens, toddlers and pre-schoolers always consider the
physical characteristics and the comfort they give to the children. A good fitting is achieved by
doing the work with care, patience and practice.

History about Children’s Clothing

In the United States , before the 1890s children predominantly wore clothing made by their
parents.
By 1910 , retailers had formed a “ publicity structure” toward children for the sale of
children’s goods which resulted in a significant increase in the sale of manufactured children’s
clothing, sportswear, candy and baby clothing.
By 1915 baby clothing had become one of the nation’s largest industries.
In the 1980s , infant and toddler clothing fashion design became an increasing source of
revenue for US designer labels and fashion design houses, such as Polo Ralph Lauren Guess

Characteristics of a Well Fitted Children’s Wear

A. Toddlers ( 1-3 years old)

1. Look for soft, unstructured styles that allow

maximum freedom of movement , such as
one-piece garments that fall from the
shoulder. These are also practical because
toddlers wear diapers and have not
developed a waistline.

2.Leg openings with snaps on toddlers pants
help make changing diaper easier.

3.For necklines, select collarless styles or flat

collars such as Peter pan and convertible
collars

4. Avoid collars that may bind or restrict

movement, such as high button collars.

5.When toddlers are first learning to dress, pull

– on garments with large neck and armhole
openings are the easiest to manipulate.
Because the toddlers are on the move.

6.Design features should be functional as well

as decorative. For example, shoulder straps
should criss – cross in the back to prevent
them from sliding off shoulders.

7. Shoulder tabs on shirts are another way to

secure straps.

B. Pre-schoolers ( 3-5 years old)

2
 1. Look for styles that allow pre-schoolers to move and jump about freely.
2. Pockets are important features because pre-schoolers need places for the treasures
they collect.
3. Shoulder tabs on shirts are still valuable.
4. When selecting a garment with long sleeves, avoid buttoned cuff that restrict
movement.
5. Jumpsuits are practical garments for pre-schoolers because they allow for mobility and
will maintain a neat appearance
