There certainly is a hole in the market, especially now that Happy Panda is no longer operating. All of the safety/labeling regulations that the US put through this past year have had an unfortunate effect on many small companies like theirs. Hopefully, someone will be able to fill the gap.

There is definitely a hole in the market in terms of clothing for slightly larger babies / children. I’m sure this range will find its audience. I for one have some friends with slightly bigger children and I know they have a lot of difficulty finding clothing that is not only large enough, but also stylishly cut.

Agreed. I did a post on another brand earlier this year that developed a sizing model for their line that differs from the norm...RealKidz. In both cases, the designers are appealing to a very specific demographic with their sizes - but they approach sizing somewhat differently. Pamela uses familiar size names (i.e., 0-3 mo, 3-6 mo, etc) but pairs them with larger body measurements so parents of larger children can used "age based sizing". RealKidz' sizing, on the other hand, uses a completely different nomenclature and measurement base than traditional kids' sizes and encourages parents to rely on measurements rather than age.

By no means is this a criticism against Pamela (who I know), it’s great you featured her line. What I want to say is that a parent who was unclear about the brand’s sizing, would say that the line is “vanity sized”. It’s not of course -there being no such thing as vanity sizing- my point being that every manufacturer designs their sizing to suit the key characteristics of their consumer profile.
