SIZING INFORMATION/ CHART

Lapsaky garments are sized with two considerations: fabric shrinkage and growing room. Organic cottons are minimally processed (even when low impact dyed), so shrinkage is higher than what you might expect. When you receive your clothing, you might at first think it is too big and decide to return for a smaller size. We encourage you to trust our research; wash and dry garments and try on your child again-we are certain you will decide they are sized just right, with the additional allowance for growth within a size. Sizing is generous to allow baby/child to wear garment at least thru end of size range. For example, if your baby is of average HEIGHT, he/she will fit in the 3-6 month size until 6 months old, or a little longer (the same idea applies to kids sizes). Don't buy a 3-6 month size for a newborn, or a 3T for a 2 year old, it will be really big (unless your child is above average for height or weight)! You are welcome to contact us if you need help in deciding what size to buy.

Garments with straps have 3 snaps on each strap, which give another 2 inches of growth per size (which is essentially the same as 2 sizes in one).

At Lapsaky, we use "colorgrown" organic cotton for our baby and kids clothes, blankets, hats and towels, as this is the purest cotton. Because it is not dyed, it is virtually free of chemicals, making it the best for our planet and all creatures who reside here.

We have also added low impact dyed colors to our clothing line. We will still continue to offer clothing in the colorgrown cotton (it is so pure and natural and healthy!). However, the availability of organic colorgrown cotton is becoming increasingly difficult in the U.S., so we have decided to offer low impact dyed organic cotton as well. Yes, it does increase the chemical content (but only to the degree that is recommended by the Organic Trade Association). We do require documentation from our dye houses as to the chemical composition of their dyes, so we can be sure we are not using harmful pigments which do not conform to the low impact dye standards for organic cotton.

Our mission in providing organic cotton clothing overall is to recognize the impact on our earth through farming practices which use immense amounts of harmful chemicals (pesticides and herbicides-among the highest pecentage of any farming chemicals used for any crop). Cotton is especially damaged by pests and diseases, making it a prime target for chemical use to enhance better yields. It is also the largest textile crop grown worldwide, and the most preferred textile for clothing worldwide. Everyone loves to wear cotton, which is why it is so important to support the organic farming of cotton, even if we do go one step further by using dyes.
