The Kablooie babydoll dress has a round neckline and cap sleeves, with a raised, gathered waistline that sits under the bust (don't forget you can request extra length in the bust to accomodate your bust size if needed). It is more roomy around the waist and hips because of the larger gathered skirt volume.

The Kablooie Jersey Babydoll dress is in the same style as the cotton babydoll dress, but in a soft comfortable jersey fabric. It is a relaxed fit dress with cap sleeves, round neckline, pockets and a raised gathered waistline. The dimensions of the jersey babydoll dress are smaller than the cotton dress, as the garment has a lovely stretch. However the sizes are intended to be equivalent - ie if you are a size 12 in the cotton dress, you should fit the size 12 in the babydoll dress. If you prefer a slimmer fit, as the dress is stretch fabric, you can size down. If you like a normal relaxed fit, just stick with your normal size. Please note all dimensions below are approximate and taken from sample garments sewn up to test my sewing patterns.

The Jersey Regular dress is designed to be a relaxed fit (rather than tight fitting or form fitting) stretch dress, with four options for sleeve length - cap sleeve (regular), elbow length, 3/4 length or full length. This fabric has a gentle stretch, and is not slinky or clingy - it falls beautifully and is comfortable and flattering . If you own items in cotton non stretch from Kablooie, this jersey range is designed to be equivalent - ie if you are a size 14 in non stretch, the size 14 in jersey should fit you also. Please note, the measurements below are approximate garment measurements, using a garment laid flat (these are not body measurements).

The Kablooie Jersey Babydoll top is in the same style as the cotton babydoll top , but in a soft comfortable jersey fabric. It has a round neckline and cap sleeves, with a raised, gathered waistline that sits about 5cm under the bust (don't forget you can request extra length in the bust to accomodate your bust size if needed). It is more roomy around the waist and hips because of the larger gathered section, and the hemline sits on the waist.

The dimensions of the jersey babydoll top are slightly smaller than the cotton version, as the garment has a lovely stretch. However the sizes are intended to be equivalent - ie if you are a size 12 in the cotton, you should fit the size 12 in the babydoll. If you prefer a slimmer fit, as the dress is stretch fabric, you can size down. If you like a normal relaxed fit, just stick with your normal size. Please note all dimensions below are approximate and taken from sample garments sewn up to test my sewing patterns.

All ladies regular skirts sit just above or at knee length, depending on your height (if you are above average height, it will sit higher on you, if you are below average height, it may sit below your knee). You can add midi or maxi length to any skirt by ticking that customisation in each product. All ladies midi skirts are just below the knee to about mid calf, again depending on your height. Maxi skirts go to just above the ankle (depending on your height).

Skirt waist measurements are for the circumference of the elastic waist, which is quite soft and stretchy, and has more give than a tailored waist with a zip or button opening. It's comfy, forgiving, and can move around a little depending on where you like your skirt to sit. Because ladies sizing can be variable, I've tried to give a waist range that the elastic waist will fit comfortably. If you're unsure, I would advise you size down rather than up.

The Kablooie Ladies Pants are an exciting new addition to the range. Created with a local Brisbane Pattern Maker, these pants are a non stretch, wide leg, relaxed fit pant, with an elastic waist, belt loops and a matching fabric belt. They include slant front pockets and the standard length is 7/8. Fill length pants are approximately 15 cm longer than the stated length of 7/8 pants. As with all other garments, you can request up to 5cm to be taken off or added to the length of your pants to adjust for your height and build. The pants are intended to be moderately high waisted, sitting around the belly button. While they are relaxed fit, pants of course need to be a more exact fit than a skirt or dress as they are going over both your legs! I'd recommend sticking with your regular pants size rather than sizing down for these garments. Please note that the waistband measurement is a full circumference, but all other width measurements are taken across the front of the garment laid flat (ie need to be doubled to get full garment circumference).

The Kablooie breastfeeding babydoll dress is my newest style, launched in late 2020, after the original breastfeeding dress was launched in 2019. The Kablooie Jersey Babydoll dress is in the same style as the cotton babydoll dress, but in a soft comfortable jersey fabric. It is a relaxed fit dress with sleeves, round neckline, pockets and a raised gathered waistline. (a medium weight tee shirt style, gentle stretch fabric it's soft, falls beautifully and is both comfy and flattering #truth). It has a round neck, sits just below the knee (so slightly longer than the normal babydoll dress because you spend so long sitting and feeding) and is a relaxed fit stretch dress. It has a top front section that flips up and allows you to feed from the singlet layer underneath, while maintaining your privacy. Please remember when checking these measurements that this is a STRETCH fabric, unlike my other dresses, so if you prefer a tighter or clingier fit, you can size down and the dress will give you some stretch. Please also note each item is handmade to order, and these measurements are an approximate based on a set of samples. Please see product photos and individual product listings for a further description of the dress.

The Kablooie breastfeeding dress was developed over a number of months in 2018 and early 2019, and launched in April 2019. It's been a labour of love! It is a regular dress style, in a stretch cotton jersey (a medium weight tee shirt style, gentle stretch fabric it's soft, falls beautifully and is both comfy and flattering #truth). It has a round neck, sits just below the knee (so slightly longer than the normal regular dress becasue you spend so long sitting and feeding) and is a relaxed fit stretch dress.

Please remember when checking these measurements that this is a STRETCH fabric, unlike my other dresses, so if you prefer a tighter or clingier fit, you can size down and the dress will give you some stretch.

Kids Shorts and Skirts (custom orders)

Children's clothing are not listed on the website as part of my regular range from 2019 onwards, as I now focus all my craziness on developing my adult range. However, I am always able to make you some of my kids gear (especially to match your adult clothes) as a custom request, either via my Facebook group or over email.

Children's sizes are based on the Australian Standard sizing for children. Waist and length measurements are shown below for your reference. All skirts are designed to come to the knee or just below, depending on the child's height. All kids shorts come to the knee or just above. All kids clothing is elastic waisted, and size should generally match age. If your child is tall/large for their age, then I suggest you size up.

The Shift Dress

The Kablooie Shift Dress is not currently listed online, but I can create one as a custom order at your request. It is a sleeveless style A line shift dress, with a dart at the bust area, but is designed to be relaxed fit still around the hips and waist. As this dress is a smaller fit due to the more tailored style, I don't recommend you size down if you're between sizes.

Some Super Important Sizing Information

How do I interpret the sizing charts?

The sizing is simple - My seamstresses and I have sewn up a full set of garments in every size and in every style in my range. Then we laid each of the samples flat and measured them across the front. So sizing charts are telling you the dimensions of each sample garment across the front (except for sleeve circumference measurements which are the full measurement round the sleeve opening.)

Each time you order, we make your garment from scratch in the same way, so your garment should have the same measurements, give or take half a centimetre sometimes.

What is the sizing like?

Kablooie pieces are handmade to order, and are meant to be a relaxed casual fit. They are not intended to be tailored or fitted, and give you plenty of space to move, laugh, eat and enjoy life!

My cotton collections are made with a non stretch 100% cotton. My Breastfeeding range and the stretch jersey collection are both made from a soft organic cotton lycra (95% cotton, 5% lycra) with a gentle stretch and beautiful fall. It's a solid tee shirt thickness and feels really fabulous on - not slinky or too thin. The jersey garments are cut slightly smaller than the cotton, because they stretch and give easily around your body - generally you'll fit the equivalent size in jersey as you do in cotton, or could easily go down a size as they are also relaxed fit.

What if I am between sizes?

If you are between sizes, you should go with the smaller size (eg if you're 14-16, go the 14). If you prefer a slimmer fit, size down from your normal size (but please remember the tops and dresses have no fastenings or zips and still need to be pulled on over the head and shoulders, so they can’t have as slim a fit as a garment with a full body zip or buttons at the neckline).

How do I work out if a garment will fit me?

The best place to start is to check your bust measurement for a dress or top, and your waist measurement for a skirt. For Example: get the bust measurement of the top or dress, double it to get the full circumference, then compare to your bust measurements. The dress bust might be 112cm, and your bust might be 108cm. If the piece is in non stretch cotton, this means it should fit you with ease.

You can also compare the garment measurements with a similar garment already in your wardrobe - beware though, it needs to be the same sort of fabric (ie comparing stretch with non stretch is a big no-no) and they need to have the same basic construction and style - you can't compare a dress with a long back zip and a dress that is pull over your head style.

Want to try before you buy?

Buying online can be tricky! My pieces are made to order and customisable, and I want you to love them - so I am happy to post out some garment samples for you to try on and return to work out your fit. This is someting that I have recently started doing - eg if you want to purchase a size 14 dress, I can send you that size plus the sizes either side to try on. I can also have a 15 minute zoom call fitting with you when you receive them. All I need you to do is pay for postage back, and get them back in the post within 48 hours to me. Want to try it? Please contact me - I'd love to help!

Don't Understand Australian Sizing?

At the moment, my detailed sizing charts show the actual garment measurements, rather than body measurements. The easiest way to work out sizing is to measure a garment you already have, no matter which country it was made in (which is made from a similar material and in a similar style- ie cotton non stretch or stretchy fabric).

But if you don't have anything similar, as a general rule, UK sizing is similar to Australian, and you should go down an average of 2 sizes to find your US size. Please see this article on the Finder website for a helpful conversion chart. Please keep in mind that my sizes are a little more generous than the average Australian chain store size.

How do I customise the standard garments?

To see more detail on the different dress, skirt and sleeve lengths available, or how to customise your garment by lenghtening the bodice, scooping the neckline, or changing the length to suit your height, head to 'Customise Your Kablooie' .

Want to see me wearing each garment?

I have recorded a series of short videos on my IGTV channel to show you each of my garments, how they feel and look on, from all angles. It's a really helpful way to see a real garment on a real person, which gives you more information than a flat photograph would. Head to my Kablooie Store IGTV channel to see more - I hope you find them helpful! I also have inserted short videos below for each garment so you can see them on me.
