Mosaic Moon is currently very busy dyeing yarn. Morwenna will occasionally take custom knit orders, and those slots will be listed in the "Knits" section of the cart.
The following are approximate sizes for soakers, shorts & pants. Use these charts as a guideline, but please keep in mind that each soaker item is unique and measurements will vary. Soakers are designed for a snug, trim fit. Shorts and pants are designed with a relaxed fit, like clothing--please keep this in mind when determining size. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Pants and shorts made with the Curly Purly waistband will differ from the chart below. This chart reflects the sizing on my regular waistband shorts and pants. Please feel free to email for sizing advice. CP waist pants and shorts will be more narrow through the hip and leg, and fit more like leggings than pants.

Mosaic Moon soakers/pants/shorts really will fit a wide range of sizes. The best way to determine your child`s size is to note down the waist, rise, and thigh (inseam too for pants) over the bulkiest diaper normally worn. New soaker items will stretch/give when first worn, so don't worry if they seem a *little* snug at first. Buying "big" will give long wear, but a less trim fit.
Mosaic Moon soakers work over any type of diaper, but I have found them particularly suited to fitteds. The fitteds that I personally use and love are Dunk-n-Fluff fitted/sized diapers, and Mosaic Moon one-size-fits-most (currently being made by Momufactued Designs by custom order), and fitteds from ElBee Baby.
For flats and prefolds, I recommend purchasing a soaker with a more snug fit, especially in the thigh. Your child`s thigh measurement should fall in the middle of the range that I give for thigh circumference for a snug, not tight, fit. Another thought would be to go with the soaker shorts for more coverage, if you feel your child needs it.
I am told that soakers will stretch about 1/4 inch in the thigh, and will get slightly wider and shorter over time. Just things to keep in mind.
Mosaic Moon offers 4 sizes at present: nb/sm, sm/med, med/lg, and lg/xl If you have a hard-to-fit baby, you will probably want to custom-order. In-stock soakers will still vary in measurements from soaker to soaker, so it`s best to have your child`s measurements on hand.
All of that said, I had used the same 3 soakers on my own daughter from summer 2003 to summer 2004 and they worked perfectly. They were my *experiments*, were not made specifically to fit her, and have never fit her snugly in the thigh. I never had any leaks with them! I just love our knitted wool soakers!
