Infants Clothing

Infants are children from the age category of 3
months to 1 year. An infant’s, weight, head size and
age are the major criteria’s to be considered while
selecting a garment. The head size of a small child is
one fifth of his height, while for an adult it is one
eighth of the body height.

Fabrics like flannel, jersey knits, polar fleece in
cottons and other natural fibers are selected for
infants. These are soft in handfeel and provide
comfort to the tiny wearer who has supple and
sensitive skin. Subtle, pastel colours with polka dots,
nursery prints, checks and cartoon characters are
preferred for prints. Solid colour fabrics are also in
huge demand for garments. Trims used in infant’s
garments are less complicated and easy to handle like
Velcro, snap buttons, soft laces etc. Globalization has
created a huge market for branded clothing for this
age group in India, over the past few years.
