​

Clothing Sizes

CHOOSE THE SMALLEST NUMBER SIZE PRINTED ON TAG (If tag says "3 - 9 months," select "3 months." If tag says "8/10", select "8," or select the smallest corresponding number size for letters from chart below (example: If garment says only "XS," select size 4.).

​​

Attaching Tags to Clothes

  1. ATTACH TAG ON RIGHT SIDE, in underarm seam, with small safety pin or fine tagging gun.

    • If using a tagging gun, attach in a seam only.  DO NOT ATTACH THROUGH FABRIC. It will make a hole​, making item unsellable.

  2. MULTIPLE-PIECE OUTFITS - RUBBER BAND HANGERS TOGETHER.

    • Do not bundle multi-piece outfits by using tagging gun or safety pin to attached one piece to another. The weight of the items will make a hole, making item unsellable. Attach additional pieces directly to hanger, not other clothing!
