Many families want to give clothes as a gift for Respect for the Aged Day, but worry about whether the size will fit. Elderly people often have changing body shapes, making it difficult to measure them using standard size charts. Here are some tips for choosing the right size based on body type to prevent the disappointment of giving a gift that doesn't fit.
People with a protruding belly (intestinal misalignment/bloated stomach)
If your waist is LL but the waistband is too tight around your stomach, choose a garment made of stretchy fabric with a fully elasticated waistband. Even if you go up a size, the elastic will fit naturally.
People whose backs are bent and whose height has decreased (due to compression fractures, etc.)
Having too much fabric in the crotch area increases the risk of falling. Prioritize jackets with a shorter inseam, a higher rise at the back, and a longer back hem.
A slender person who uses diapers.
Even if your baby weighs little, the diaper will add up to one size in the hip area. It's recommended to go up one size for easier dressing.

Recommended clothing that easily conforms to your body shape
The crinkled pintuck blouse (sa3670) is stretchy and designed with ample room around the stomach and sleeves. The front-opening long-sleeved shirt (sa3585) is made of a fabric that stretches horizontally and fits to the body's contours. Both are dryer safe.
If you can tell us your child's height, weight, current size, whether they use diapers, and any areas of concern, we will help you choose the right size in time for Respect for the Aged Day.
