At Tokkelientje, we are big fans of Feetje, and you clearly are too. The cheerful prints, soft fabrics, and comfortable fit make these pajamas true favorites for both babies and toddlers. But one question we regularly receive is: How does Feetje actually fit in terms of size? As a parent, you know that clothing sizes can sometimes be surprising. That's why in this blog, we're sharing our experiences with Feetje, so you can confidently choose the right size.
Standard Feetje pajamas fit true to size
Most Feetje pajamas, which are the variants with normal, supple cotton fabric, fit nicely true to size. This means that you can generally safely choose the size your child is currently wearing, without having to worry that it will be too big or too small. If your child currently wears size 80 in other brands? Then you can also simply choose size 80 for a standard Feetje pajama.
These pajamas are soft, comfortable, and fit well without being too tight. Perfect for dreaming away during the night or afternoon nap.
The waffle fabric collection runs slightly larger
Feetje also has pajamas in a beautiful waffle texture. These models fit slightly differently from the standard pajamas. They run a bit larger, though the difference remains subtle.
What you will primarily notice:
-
The pants are a bit longer and slightly more generous than average.
-
The tops, such as shirts or sweaters, remain fairly true to size but may fit a little looser.
Does your child have a slender build or short legs? Then a waffle pajama might seem a bit big at the bottom. Are you torn between two sizes? Then for this fabric, you can confidently choose the smaller size, especially if your child still has some room to grow.
This fabric is also ideal for colder nights, thanks to its warm yet airy structure.
Thin fabric fits perfectly true to size
Finally, there are the classic pajamas in light, thin fabric. Think of cotton versions that you often see in spring and summer. These models fit exactly true to size, both in length and width, and have a nice stretch in the fabric. They fit snugly and give your child plenty of freedom of movement.
What does 'fits true to size' actually mean?
To be sure, let's clarify what we mean by 'fits true to size'.
Pajamas in size 74 are truly intended for babies aged approximately six to nine months. Has your child just reached size 74? Then this size usually fits well right away. Is your child between two sizes? Then we recommend simply choosing the larger size for standard pajamas. After all, children grow quickly.
Need help choosing?
Still in doubt? We understand completely. Every child is different, and sometimes you just want to be sure you're making the right choice. You can always send us a message via the website or Instagram. We are happy to help you with the right size, and of course, with the cutest print.
Love,
Team Tokkelientje.
