How to Measure
To find your perfect Nobody's Child size, take accurate body measurements wearing well-fitting undergarments. Use a soft measuring tape and ensure measurements are snug but not tight.
- Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground. Pass the tape under your arms and across your back to get the most accurate reading.
- Waist: Measure at your natural waistline (the narrowest part), typically just above your hip bones. Keep the tape comfortably loose without pulling tight.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. Keep your feet together and ensure the tape sits level all the way round.
- Inside Leg (for trousers): Measure from the top of your inner thigh, following the inside seam down to your ankle bone. This measurement helps determine the correct trouser length for your height.
- Record all measurements: Note your measurements in both centimetres and inches for accuracy when cross-referencing size charts.
- Compare to size chart: Once you have your measurements, refer to the appropriate size chart below to find your ideal size, considering that different product categories may fit slightly differently.

Product Category Fit Guide
Tea Dresses & Midis
Nobody's Child's signature tea dresses are crafted from eco-viscose, TENCEL™, and cotton blends. Many feature shirred waists or bias cuts for a flattering silhouette.
- Fit: Typically slightly snug across the bust and waist, especially in fitted styles. Curvier figures may find the fit more accommodating in dual-size ranges.
- Length: Midi lengths can vary; those over 5'9" may find some styles fall closer to knee length rather than traditional midi. Always check the model's height in the product details.
- Fabric behaviour: Eco-viscose has minimal stretch, so accurate bust measurement is crucial. If between sizes, try the size up if you have a fuller bust or prefer a relaxed fit.
Blouses & Tops
Nobody's Child blouses often feature romantic details like puff sleeves, frills, and cropped cuts.
- Length: Many blouses are shorter in length and may ride up if you have a long torso. Check the product photos for length specifics.
- Sleeve fit: Puff sleeves and bell sleeves can feel tight if you size up significantly. Consider your arm circumference and shoulder width alongside standard sizing.
- Bust/waist fit: Avoid oversizing if you're petite, as excess fabric can overwhelm a smaller frame.
Denim & Trousers
Nobody's Child offers wide-leg silhouettes, mum jeans, and tailored occasion trousers in various fits and fabrics.
- Waist: Runs slightly small. If you usually wear a UK 10, consider trying UK 12 in denim.
- Length: Always refer to the trouser length guide above. Many styles are not adjustable, so accurate inside-leg measurement is essential.
- Fabric stretch: Organic cotton blends have minimal stretch compared to synthetic denim. If you prefer more movement, size up slightly.
- Petite option: Some denim styles are available with shorter leg lengths, clearly marked on product pages.
Loungewear & Knitwear
Nobody's Child loungewear and jumpers are designed with a generous, relaxed fit for comfort and layering.
- Fit: Generally true to size or oversized. Co-ords and sets can be worn as matching sets or separate pieces.
- Length: Sweaters are designed to sit at hip length; longer lengths are available in some styles.
- Size guidance: If you're between sizes, both size down for structure or size up for a deliberately loose, layered look depending on your preference.
Jumpsuits & Co-ords
Lightweight co-ords and jumpsuits in eco-fabrics with waist ties or belts are core Nobody's Child pieces.
- Torso length: Can be problematic for taller customers. Torso length (shoulder to crotch) may not accommodate heights over 5'9". Check model heights on product pages.
- Waist placement: Always note where the waist tie or seam sits to ensure it aligns with your natural waistline.
- Proportion matching: Your body's top-to-bottom proportions are crucial with jumpsuits. If you have a longer torso or shorter legs, take extra care when sizing.
Maternity Sizing
Nobody's Child offers a range of maternity styles designed for growing bumps. To find your maternity size, simply select your regular UK size; maternity pieces are designed with extra room across the bump and bust whilst maintaining a flattering shape. The collection includes bump-friendly dresses, comfortable knitwear, and blouses in the same inclusive size range (UK 4–24).
Petite & Tall Options
Nobody's Child recognises that not all customers fit the standard height range. The brand offers:
- Petite collection: Curated pieces with proportionate lengths and shorter hemlines, particularly useful for those under 5'4".
- Petite dresses: Tea dresses and midis in shorter lengths that hit at the knee or midi length rather than pooling at the ankles.
- Petite denim: Select jeans with adjusted inside-leg measurements (typically 28–29 inches).
- Tall option guidance: For tall customers, look for longer midi dresses, extended trouser lengths, and always check model heights (typically listed as 5'10" or taller) before purchasing.
Sizing Tips for Nobody's Child
- Check product-specific reviews: Nothing beats real customer feedback. On product pages, read reviews from customers with similar heights and body shapes to gauge how items fit in practice. Many reviews include "runs small" or "true to size" guidance.
- Know your measurements in both systems: Always measure yourself in both centimetres and inches. This prevents confusion when cross-referencing size charts and helps when shopping from international websites.
- Account for fabric content: Eco-viscose has no stretch; organic cotton blends have minimal stretch. If you usually size up for comfort, stick with your true size in Nobody's Child pieces, or size up if you prefer a looser fit.
- Look up model heights: Nobody's Child product pages typically list model heights and the size they're wearing. If you're a similar height, you can judge how lengths and proportions will work for you. A model at 5'10" wearing a midi will help tall customers; a petite model at 5'2" helps shorter customers.
- Consider the occasion and silhouette: Fitted tea dresses and shirred pieces run smaller than loose co-ords or jumpers. When between sizes, your choice depends on whether you prefer a closer fit or more room to move.
- Be mindful of torso length with jumpsuits and co-ords: If you have a longer torso or are very tall, jumpsuits can be problematic. Always measure your shoulder-to-crotch distance and compare to product specifications when available.
- Check return policies before ordering: Given sizing inconsistencies, ordering two sizes and returning one is often the fastest way to find your perfect fit. Most retailers stocking Nobody's Child offer free returns within 28 days.
- Use the Nobody's Child website size guide: The official website contains size guides on every product page. These are updated regularly and often include specific fit guidance (e.g., "runs small" or "designed with extra room").
- International sizing conversions: Nobody's Child is available in UK, US, and EU sizing. Always verify conversions when shopping on international sites, as rounding differences can occur.
- Wash and care impact sizing: Many Nobody's Child pieces are made from natural fibres. Always follow washing instructions carefully. Some shrinkage may occur, particularly in organic cotton items, so consider pre-washing or sizing up slightly if this concerns you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Nobody's Child dresses true to size?
In general, yes, but with caveats. Fitted tea dresses and pieces with shirring tend to run slightly snug, especially across the bust. Loose co-ords and loungewear typically run true to size or slightly large. Always check individual product reviews, as fit varies by style.
Does Nobody's Child run small or large?
Most styles run true to size or slightly small in the bust. If you have a fuller bust or prefer a relaxed fit, consider sizing up to the next size. Denim specifically tends to run 1–2 sizes small at the waist.
What if I'm between two sizes?
Your choice depends on the style. For fitted pieces like tea dresses, choose the larger size if you prefer comfort and movement. For loose pieces like jumpers and co-ords, both sizes will work depending on your preferred silhouette.
Can I exchange if the size doesn't fit?
Yes. Nobody's Child has a standard returns and exchanges policy (typically 28 days from purchase). Many retailers stock Nobody's Child also offer their own return policies, so check with your seller for specifics.
Do petite and tall options use the same size numbers?
Yes. Petite and tall variations use the same UK size numbering (e.g., petite UK 10 is still a UK 10). The difference is in the proportions and length. Petite pieces have shorter hemlines and adjusted proportions, whilst tall pieces are extended in key areas like torso length and trouser inseam.
Is there a size guide for men's clothing?
Nobody's Child primarily focuses on women's and children's clothing. The brand does not currently produce menswear.
How do I know if a dress will be too long or short?
The best approach is to check the model's height on the product page and compare it to your own height. If a model at 5'9" is wearing the dress and it's midi length on her, and you're 5'4", the dress will likely be longer on you. Many product pages also list the dress length in centimetres or inches, which you can compare against dresses you already own.
