Tiny Clothing
We create clothing especially for babies who are smaller than standard “premature” sized clothing. We believe that babies deserve to be dressed in real clothes no matter what gestation they are born at.
Our sets contain two identical sleepsuit and hats; so parents can keep something their baby has worn or a replica of it.
We offer our clothes in three colours (grey, pink and blue) and have a range of prints available.
Our duo boxes come in four sizes, ranging from approximately 18 weeks to 32 weeks gestation.
Tiny Clothing FAQs
As with 3D casting, we currently run a waiting list for our tiny clothing boxes. Once you reach the top of the list you will be provided with a link to order new boxes as and when you need them. We ask that when joining the list you give us a rough estimate of the number you will need per year. We won’t hold you to this number and it won’t impact your position on the waiting list – but it does help us to plan and allocate our resources. Once you are partnered with us to provide tiny clothing we want to keep a constant supply for you, so knowing these figures in advance helps up to make sure we can continue doing this.
To join the waitlist, please email amy@littlecloud.co.uk
We currently offer tiny clothing in four sizes; Extra Small, Small, Medium and Large. All our clothing is smaller than widely available premature clothing so your first delivery will come with a size guide which can be reordered via your ordering page if you need another. Every baby is different and sizes will vary but our sizes are roughly;
- XS – 18-22 weeks gestation, 180-350g approx
- S – 22-25 weeks gestation, 400-600g approx
- M – 26-31 weeks gestation, 750g-1.5kg approx
- L – 31-34 weeks gestation, 1.5-2.2kg approx
Additional hats will now also be available to order to allow them to be swapped out for alternative sizes when required.
All our packs contain two identical sleepsuits and hats. These look similar to premature clothing in that they are fully accessible. Our sleepsuits have press studs across the arms, and down the torso and legs; allowing them to be completely opened and delicate babies placed on top to be dressed. We wanted to create something that was practical but felt like real clothing you’d dress your baby in if they were alive.
All our clothing comes in three colours; pink, blue and grey. Prints will vary and we like to offer some variety so parents have an option to choose from.
All our clothing is now professionally and ethically manufactured. When we first started we had an army of incredible volunteers hand-making all our clothing at home. Whilst this was so special and so much love was poured into each outfit, sizing would sometimes vary and we simply couldn’t keep up with the demand.
At this time we do not sell our clothing patterns or share them. We have worked incredibly hard to produce these patterns, which has taken years of research, trials, sample rounds and gaining feedback. Whilst we are encouraged that other charities and individuals would want our patterns, we’re also really proud of the production process and quality we produce, so it is important to us that we keep our patterns for our own use only.
If you are a parent who would like clothing in your local hospital, please encourage a member of staff to contact us to arrange getting a supply. If you are looking to fundraise to help others get clothing, our boxes can also be donated in memory of a baby or babies and be directed towards a specific hospital, hospice or area. We’re also happy to contact hospitals or hospices to offer a supply if you would like us to on your behalf or if you would like to donate anonymously.
