Baby Girls' Gilets
A baby girl gilet adds warmth to her body without bulky sleeves, which matters when she is learning to crawl, reach and pull herself up. It goes over a long-sleeved top or a cardigan on cool spring mornings and autumn walks. With no sleeves to wrestle with, a gilet goes on and off quickly between the pushchair and a warm cafe.
A gilet is the same garment many people call a body warmer. Sizes follow her length: a baby girl gilet for 0-3 months is 62 cm, and one for 3-6 months is 68 cm. If she is between sizes, go up, because a gilet is worn over other layers and needs room for them. Fabrics vary by style, so check the product page and read the care label before the first wash.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells baby girl gilets for 0 to 24 months, sleeveless warm layers sized by length in centimetres, with a baby girl gilet for 6-12 months in 74 cm up to 9 months and 80 cm after that.
What size is a baby girl gilet for 12-18 months?
A baby girl gilet for 12-18 months is usually 86 cm. If she is tall for her age or wears it over a chunky knit, the 92 cm size leaves room for layers and should last longer.
Can a baby girl wear a gilet over a sleepsuit?
Yes, a gilet over a sleepsuit is a quick way to keep her warm on a short walk. Take it off indoors or once she is under a blanket in the pram; a room at 18 to 20°C needs no extra layer.
