In short
Where the number just works. At 14-16, Hanna Andersson lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 8, Il Gufo, Bonpoint, U.S. Polo Assn. cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Hanna Andersson number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

What shoppers say about the fit
Community consensus
Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurementThis is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Hanna Andersson’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.
Hanna Andersson runs big. Parents consistently describe it as generously cut, and the shared advice is not to size up — measure your child in centimeters and follow Hanna’s own height guide rather than the age label (even a child near the top of a range usually shouldn’t bump up). Pants and leggings run especially loose at the waist. Sizing correctly still leaves room to grow, which is part of why the pieces last. Hanna sizes in centimeters by height (120 ≈ 6–7 years), and you can flip this page to cm with the switch above the table.
Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.
Should you buy Hanna Andersson?
Consider it if…
- You buy for durability — Hanna’s core cotton is famously long-lived; parents report play dresses and pajamas surviving 100+ washes and multiple kids with little fading.
- You want the best pajamas — sleepwear is the category Hanna does best: signature soft organic cotton, built to last.
- You think in cost-per-wear — premium up front, but everyday pieces get worn hundreds of times, which makes the price pencil out over years or multiple children.
- You want organic cotton staples with a heritage of quality.
Think twice if…
- You’re price-sensitive — Hanna is premium ($$$ tier); it’s best value on core cotton and on sale, not at full price for occasion pieces.
- You’re buying swimwear — reviewers note suits pill and fade sooner than the price suggests; the cotton basics are the strength.
- You want trendy or cheap — Hanna is classic and built to last, not fast-fashion.

How do I pick the right Hanna Andersson size?
Measure your child’s height in centimeters and match it to Hanna’s height guide rather than the age label — because it’s cut generously, even a child near the top of a range usually shouldn’t bump up. Pants and leggings run especially loose at the waist, so mind the waist there. You can switch this page’s figures to centimeters with the toggle above the table to line them up against Hanna’s own chart.
Why are Hanna’s sizes in centimeters and years?
Hanna uses European-style sizing by height in centimeters (for example, 120 ≈ 6–7 years). Our comparison converts it to US sizes from real height, and you can switch this page’s figures to cm with the toggle above the table.
Is Hanna Andersson worth the price?
For core cotton — play dresses and especially pajamas — most long-time buyers say yes, because the durability drives the cost-per-wear down over years and multiple kids. Swimwear is the weaker spot.
What is Hanna Andersson best known for?
Durable organic-cotton basics and pajamas — soft, hard-wearing pieces designed to be handed down.
Where can I buy Hanna Andersson?
On its own site and on Amazon, plus frequent seasonal sales worth waiting for.
What measurements do I need to size Hanna Andersson accurately?
Hanna Andersson publishes height, weight in its size chart. Height is the primary driver on this chart.
