The Ultimate Indian Kidswear Size Guide for Parents | Nesavu Size Chart Explained

Ever stared at a dress online and thought, “Looks perfect… but will it fit my baby?”
We get it. Figuring out kidswear sizes - especially Indian sizes like 10, 12, 14 - can feel like decoding a secret code. But don’t worry. Whether you’re shopping for your newborn, your curious toddler, or your twirling 8-year-old, we’ve made this size guide just for you.

At The Nesavu, we’ve simplified our size system to help you choose the right fit with confidence. Let’s walk you through it!

Understanding Nesavu Sizes  What Do Numbers Like 10, 12, 14 Mean?

If you've ever wondered what size "18" or "24" means in baby clothing, you're not alone. Our sizing system is based on a number-to-age mapping, which we’ve fine-tuned over the years to suit Indian children - keeping in mind growth patterns, comfort, and traditional outfit structures.

Here’s our no-fuss, parent-friendly size chart 

Helpful Tips for Picking the Right Size 

• Always consider the occasion  Traditional outfits like pattu pavadai or lehenga choli usually have a snug fit. If your child is between sizes, it’s safer to size up.

• Think ahead for gifting  If you’re buying a gift, go one size higher. Babies grow faster than we expect!

• Still unsure? Our team is happy to help - just WhatsApp us a photo of your child’s recent look, and we’ll recommend the right fit.

Why Nesavu Sizes Are Designed Differently

Most global brands follow UK or US size charts, but they don’t always match up with Indian kids’ body types - especially for traditional outfits. That’s why we created our own system after years of working closely with parents and kids.

Each Nesavu garment is tailored to make sure your child not only fits in it - but also feels amazing in it.

A Little Note from Us (Because Every Child Is Unique!)

Just a quick reminder - this size guide is here to help, not to define. Every child grows at their own pace - some are tall for their age, some have those adorable baby rolls, and some are just in-between.

So while our chart gives you a good starting point, you know your child best.
If your little one is on the chubbier side or prefers a looser fit, you might want to size up. For leaner kids or those in-between stages, a size down could be comfier.

At the end of the day, comfort is key - and you're the best judge of that.

Final Word from Team Nesavu

We know how important it is for your child to look and feel great during special moments - whether it’s a milestone birthday, a temple visit, or a family wedding. That’s why we take sizing seriously.

Our ready-to-wear Indian kidswear is made with love, tradition, and a touch of modern comfort - so your child can run, play, twirl, and shine with ease.
