How our age ranges map to height, and how to pick between two sizes.
Every piece lists its age range on the label. Age is the fastest way to shop, but height is the honest measure. Start here, then check the exact range on the product page.
| Label range | Height | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0-3M | 50-60 cm | Newborn layette and hospital sets |
| 0-6M | 50-68 cm | Roomy cut; fits over cloth nappies |
| 3-18M | 60-84 cm | The longest-wearing range; layered sets |
| 6-24M | 68-92 cm | Rompers and sleepwear |
| 2-3Y | 92-98 cm | Toddler cuts, roomy hems |
| 4-5Y | 104-110 cm | Generous through the body |

Between two sizes? Take the larger one. Our cuts run roomy and the hems are generous, so a slightly bigger piece drapes rather than drowns - and it gets worn next season too.
Buy for the child they will be in August, not the child they are in April. Summer pieces are cut to last two seasons, worn first as a dress, later as a tunic.
Write to sales@peralane.com with your child's height in centimetres and the piece you are looking at. We answer every sizing question ourselves.
