Babies dresses ?

Hello everyone !!!

You see i made a dress up to 12 month for my little girl , i tried to follow this chart
[url]https://www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/baby-size-chart[/url]

i accdently got size 18 in the chest and armhole depth , and i was thinking is it alright ?

cause i want to make a dress for my bff's doughter , and she is almost 6 month old now , i'm thinking that i might add an extra inch in the chest area , like it has to be 17" but i make it 18" so it can be comfortbale to wear , but im fread that its gonna look to big .

[B]so in making babies dresses should i make it exactly as the sizes writtin in this page ? or should i add extra inches ? [/B]

and if anyone knows the neck area neck width and depth , i made for 12 month neck width 11,5 cm and depth 5 sm , ist alright ?

I do not think you will have severe problems, there will be more give in putting the dress on and maybe a little give or looseness of the chest but will probably just fit longer.

Hello elproct, I make baby things all the time and I like to make them just a little bit bigger so the baby can get more wear out of it. If you have not seen the baby it is hard to judge the correct size to make (bigger or smaller).
Below is a link I use to get an idea of the start for measurements. You can find more charts on the Internet for allsizes from newborns to adult.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks, those are the charts I use too. Good luck and have fun. I often ask the mom to do measurements of the child so I shape it just right for them.

Hello elproct, I am sorry my reply with the chart was meant for Luna411 it was her question. I appreciate your nice reply to me,

Looks like you and I are on the same page. I only make items for my grandchild so if I am lucky by the time I get to measure her and make the item she has not grown out of it yet. That is why I make mine a little bit bigger.
Babies grow up so fast.

Amazing thnk you eveyrone !!! <33

i do the same i add an extra inch and make it little bit bigger , some one from my family suggested to pput the measerment next to the age since i'm deciding to start selling some crochet dresses , this way help moms to chose which one is the best for their babies and also reqeust extra inches also <3

i'm wooried about how long the chest area should be , for the age up to 6 month i made it 4 1\2 inches , since i want the dres to be ruffley after the chest area ist suie able or should i make it down to the waist ?

Hello luna411,
I think putting the measurements next to the dress is a good idea but also list the size of the dress you made. For example some babies might be 6 months old but wearing a bigger size because they may be longer or a little bit chubbier or the reverse they may be a small baby.

Good Luck,

Spoula

Thank you so much !! what a bout how long the chest area should be ? i couldnt find any size chart contains the chest length .

[SIZE=1][B]" i want to thank you and add a like but i donw know how , so sorry"[/B][/SIZE]

Luna411, You measure from the back to the waist for a baby. For 6 months it can be 6 1/2 inches. If you want an empire waist dress one that goes just around the chest area then you can guess and use 4" or stop at the underarm area.
