When it comes to clothes, quality comes first than styles so, as parents, buying quality clothes for your baby are significantly important because it could have an impact on their skin. If this is your first-time buying baby clothes, here are the four ways to discern quality.
Natural Fabrics
Just like some adults, babies have sensitive skin. Their skin can quickly react on fabric grown with chemicals and fertiliser. To not let that happen to their skin, here is a checklist to find out if the baby clothes have quality fabrics.
Cashmere
Since it has natural insulation properties, the fabric should be softly warm when touch.
It should bounce back when slightly pull.
Super soft and not itchy.
Cotton
Soft against the skin.
It should be densely woven.
It should be highly absorbent.
Construction
Next is construction, this is where you can assess if the clothes are tight and evenly stitched, here is how you check it.
Finishing Techniques and Top-stitching Thread
Whether you are buying baby boy, or girl clothes in Singapore, you should turn it inside out to check what the thread looks like, it should have serged edge.
Serged edge is the loopy-looking threads, mostly stitch between two fabric.
If it looks unbalanced and messy, it has poor quality.
Manufacturing Place
Make sure to look at the tags to find out manufacturing place the baby girl clothes, it is in Singapore or other countries? If there are no tags available, ask the shop owner instead.
Watch Out for Fabric Blend.
First, watch out for clothing stating cotton or cashmere blend because this does not mean the fabric is 100% instead, they are 1% cotton or cashmere and 99% synthetic.
