In short

Where the number just works. At 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, 4-5y, 6-7y, 8-9y, Rylee + Cru lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.

Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 10-12y, Primary, JoJo Maman Bébé cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.

Bottom line: for most sizes, a Rylee + Cru number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up

Rylee + Cru-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.

Runs true, slightly oversized — and the pants run long

One of the few boutique brands that fits a big or chunky baby: relaxed and slightly oversized. The flip side is length — joggers and pants run very long and don't always cuff.

Part of the Rylee + Cru Collective

Three distinct brands (with Quincy Mae and Noralee), three different charts, one shared store — so size to Rylee + Cru's own chart, not a sibling's.

What shoppers say about the fit

Community consensus

Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurement

This is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Rylee + Cru’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.

Rylee + Cru runs true to size with a relaxed, slightly oversized cut — and the pants run long. The handful of parents who discuss it on Reddit agree it is one of the few boutique brands that fits a big or chunky baby: ‘relatively true to size/oversized’, the only brand still fitting a 99th-percentile toddler in his labelled size. The flip side is length — joggers and pants are ‘actually crazy long’ and usually don’t cuff — and the slimmer non-relaxed styles run closer to Tea Collection (long and snug). One boutique reviewer sized a 7-year-old up to 8/9 in the relaxed tee. Small sample: buy the labelled size for babies and toddlers, and expect to roll the pants.

Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.

Should you buy Rylee + Cru?

Consider it if…

  • You have a big, tall or chunky baby — parents of 90th-99th-percentile kids call it the brand that 'actually fits' and stays wearable longest.
  • You want soft, relaxed, mix-and-match pieces — each season's colour-way lets parents pair a top in one size with pants in another.
  • You buy secondhand or off-price — it holds value, shows up at Nordstrom Rack and thrift stores, and 'sells for me' on resale apps.

Think twice if…

  • Your child is short-legged — pants and joggers run very long and mostly don't cuff.
  • You want a slim, tailored fit — the relaxed cut is deliberately oversized; the fitted styles run long and snug like Tea Collection.
  • You're price-sensitive — '$$$$' is the universal caveat; most parents wait for sales or thrift it.

Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.

A few things parents ask that the chart won’t tell you

Does Rylee + Cru run big or small?

True to size to slightly oversized in the relaxed styles — that's the consistent Reddit read from parents of big babies. The slimmer, non-relaxed pieces run long and snug, and one boutique reviewer sized her 7-year-old up to 8/9 in a tee. Order the labelled size for babies and toddlers.

Are Rylee + Cru pants long?

Yes — 'actually crazy long' is the recurring comment, and many styles don't cuff. Parents of tall kids love it; for a shorter child, buy the cuffed styles or plan to roll.

Does Rylee + Cru fit a chunky baby?

Better than most boutique brands. Parents who couldn't close Pehr or Honest in the same size say Rylee + Cru's relaxed cut and stretch fabrics fit their 90th-plus-percentile babies for months longer.

What measurements do I need to size Rylee + Cru accurately?

Rylee + Cru publishes height, weight, chest, waist, hip in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.

Where do I buy Rylee + Cru?

Rylee + Cru is sold on its own site and through select retailers.
