Children’s Size Guide

At Mariposa Children’s Boutique, we specialise in luxury Spanish and European children’s clothing in the UK, known for its beautiful craftsmanship, tailored fit and timeless boutique styling.

Because many of our brands use European sizing, the fit can differ slightly from standard UK sizing. This guide is designed to help you choose the correct size with confidence when shopping our Spanish and European children’s wear collections.

European vs UK Sizing

Most of our Spanish and European designer brands, including DAGA and many traditional Spanish collections, follow European sizing.

European sizing often runs smaller and more fitted than standard UK high street sizing, so we usually recommend choosing one size up, especially if your child is between sizes or you would like extra room for growth.
