Our sizing philosophy is built around the joy of movement, ensuring that every piece of clothing and every accessory allows for maximum wiggle room and imaginative freedom.

We aim to provide a consistent, easy-to-navigate sizing experience that helps parents find the right fit the first time, reducing the need for returns and ensuring that the magic of Gabby's Dollhouse can begin as soon as the package arrives at your door.
How to Measure
- Height: For the most accurate clothing fit, measure your child from the top of their head down to their bare feet. Ensure they are standing straight on a flat surface with their heels together. * Chest: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the fullest part of your child's chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, which is typically the narrowest part of the torso, just above the belly button.
- Hips: For trousers and skirts, measure around the widest part of the hips and bottom to ensure plenty of room for movement.
- Foot Length: To find the correct shoe size, place your child's foot flat on a piece of paper. Trace the outline and measure the distance from the heel to the tip of the longest toe in centimetres.

Product-Specific Guidance
Themed T-Shirts & Tops: Our graphic tees are designed with a relaxed, standard fit to allow for easy layering. If your child prefers a more fitted look, consider sizing down; if they love an oversized, comfy feel, sizing up is recommended.
Leggings & Bottoms: Most of our bottoms feature high-stretch waistbands for comfort. For trousers, we recommend checking the waist measurement closely, as the elastic provides flexibility but the length remains fixed.
Accessories: Items such as headbands, hair clips, and themed bags are generally designed as "One Size" to accommodate a wide range of ages, ensuring they are easy to share and wear during any playtime adventure.
Footwear: Our shoes are designed with a standard width (F) to accommodate growing feet. For children with wider feet, we suggest checking the foot length measurement and potentially selecting the next size up to ensure no pressure on the sides of the feet.
Sizing Tips
- Plan for Growth: Children grow incredibly fast! We always recommend selecting a slightly larger size if your child is between sizes to ensure they can enjoy the garment for longer.
- Measure at the End of the Day: Feet tend to swell slightly towards the evening. For the most accurate shoe fit, measure your child's feet in the late afternoon or evening.
- Consider the Fabric: While many of our items are stretchy, some structured accessories or denim-style bottoms may have less give. Always refer to the "Chest" and "Waist" measurements in our charts.
- Use a Soft Tape: When measuring, use a flexible tailor's tape. Avoid using metal construction tapes or string, as these can lead to inaccurate readings that are too tight or too loose.
- Check the Width: If your child has particularly wide feet, look at the foot length in centimetres and consider moving up one UK size to provide extra girth room.
- Measure with Socks: When measuring for shoes, ensure your child is wearing the type of socks they will typically wear with the footwear (e.g., thick cotton socks for boots or thin socks for trainers).
- Compare to Previous Purchases: If you have previously purchased Gabby's Dollhouse clothing, use those successful fits as a benchmark for your new order.
