(47,209 posts)aside from the flammability requirements , endless testing and concern over trims, etc, the fit of all sleepwear is supposed to be skin tight. They actually give them measurements for the garments themselves, it's totally standardized- so there's not much "work" involved and not something small upstart companies can afford to do because of testing costs.
Kids clothing is easy because it doesn't change much fit wise like womens' stuff does, it's mostly decorative stuff that changes. The only big thing that has happened is the size and style of diapers! Toddlers' clothing Hips used to size same or bigger than the larger "Kids" fit, because the diapers were so big years back, and then suddenly that changed. We actually put diapers on the little toddler forms, while adult forms are made to represent people wearing underwear. Yep.
