Parents worldwide have strong opinions on children’s clothing, and children’s clothing manufacturers had better be listening. We’re not just talking fashion trends—we’re talking functionality. Because anybody who’s ever had to wrestle a cranky toddler into an outfit, re-dress a sleeping baby or try to keep the trousers up on a kid that’s too skinny (or fit them around a child who enjoys his cheese curls a bit too much) knows that apparel elastic for children’s clothing manufacturing is a lifesaver:

1. Adjustable waistbands—You know, that elastic band in trousers that has button holes you can stretch to fit the particular child who will be wearing them instead of having to worry about paying for, or doing their own sewing alterations? With these stretchy, adjustable waistbands, bottoms can appeal to, and be worn by, a wider variety of kids.
2. Stretchy socks and underwear—When children’s clothing manufacturers use elastic apparel thread to make children’s foundational garments more stretchy, you can bet the parents are breathing a sigh of relief. They fit longer, last longer and are easier to put on wiggly children. And unless there are potty training accidents that are just too egregious to ignore (and there will be), parents appreciate not having to go to the store to buy new children’s underwear every other day.
3. Anything having to go over a baby’s head—From the ubiquitous onesies to every cute little baby top and baby rash guard that has to somehow be pulled over a baby’s head without upsetting the baby or frustrating the parents… elastic apparel thread for baby clothes is the unsung hero of those early days of childhood. You know, the ones where you have to try and change baby without starting a nuclear meltdown.
