Sizes shown use Tea Collection’s girls’/unisex chart where the brand splits by gender; boys’ sizes at the same number can run slightly taller.
In short
Where the number just works. At 3-6M, 6-9M, 9-12M, Tea Collection 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 6, Brooks Brothers Kids, Polo Ralph Lauren Kids, Bonpoint cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Tea Collection 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
Tea Collection-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.
Fit is inconsistent by garment
Dresses run large — a child stays in a size a long time, or can size down — while the pants and leggings run small, snug at the waist and short in the leg. Size to the specific piece rather than one blanket rule.
The soft knits shrink in the dryer
The knits shrink after drying, so cold-wash and hang-dry to hold the size you bought.
Older “red label” pieces run smaller
The older red-label and woven pieces run smaller than the newer knits, so check the specific item if you’re buying across collections.
Specialty & inclusive fits
Which trimmer, roomier, or adaptive cuts Tea Collection publishes alongside its standard sizes.

Tea Collection’s fit is inconsistent by garment. Parents find the dresses run large — a child stays in a size a long time, or can size down — while the pants and leggings run small, snug at the waist and short in the leg. The soft knits also shrink in the dryer, so cold-wash and hang-dry to hold the size. Older ‘red label’ and woven pieces run smaller than the newer knits, so it’s worth checking the specific item.

Should you buy Tea Collection?
Consider it if…
- You want distinctive, globally-inspired prints — Tea Collection designs around cultures and travel, not mass-market graphics.
- You want soft, high-quality knits — premium fabric that’s comfortable and holds up when cared for.
- You want coordinated collections — seasonal lines designed to mix and match.
Think twice if…
- You’re price-sensitive — it’s premium ($$$), best bought on one of its sales.
- You want plain basics — it’s print-forward and design-driven, not a white-onesie brand.
- You want low-maintenance clothes — the premium knits reward careful washing, so it’s not a toss-in-any-load brand.
Skip the cross-referencing — let Little & Youth do it.
Enter your child’s measurements once. We’ll show their Tea Collection size and their size at 100+ other brands, each from that brand’s own chart.

How should I wash Tea Collection to avoid shrinking?
Cold water and hang- or low-drying protects the soft knits; high heat is what shrinks them. Because the knits can shrink and the fit already varies by piece, gentle washing is the difference between a size that lasts and one that tightens.
Is Tea Collection worth the premium price?
For its signature globally-inspired prints and soft, durable knits, long-time buyers tend to say yes — especially on sale, and because the quality hands down. If you mainly want plain basics, cheaper brands cover that.
What measurements do I need to size Tea Collection accurately?
Tea Collection 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.
Do Tea Collection boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?
From the bigger sizes up, Tea Collection publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Tea Collection’s girls’/unisex chart.
Where do I buy Tea Collection?
Tea Collection is sold on its own site and on Amazon, so you can pick the marketplace you prefer.
