Sizing information:
Our stock ring slings are sized loosely based on women's shirt sizes so that the tail falls at mid-thigh. If you'd like a shorter tail, please order a size up and if you wish a longer tail, order a size down. Basic ring slings can be safely worn with the tail falling as high as the waist; if you want a sling with a pocket and panel, keep in mind that any pocket below your knee is hard to access. Of course, if you have a specific measurement that you want, you can include your info on the notes section of the order form.

It's debatable about what the best way to organize these ring slings is. Currently, they're organized by fabric type and are priced by the type of fabric used and the amount of labour that goes into the crafting. Almost all the slings are offered with a generous size range, including x-small for quite petite people all the way to xx-large for more ample people. Within each fabric category, you'll also find two styles of sling:
slings with a decorative panel that includes a very handy, deep pocket that's wide enough for diapers and sippy cups and
slings with no panel or pocket, quite basic, and useful in their own right mostly because they don't cost much.

 | Pure linen sling with tail wrapped around rings. |
|
 | Linen/rayon blend as pictured for display on the webpage. |
|
 | Same sling as before, shown as worn. |
|
 | Lighweight denim for a more casual look. |
|
 | Cotton gauze; it has a more open weave, which means it breathes quite well and is a good choice for summer newborns. |
|
 | Cotton/poly blend with a touch of rayon....very lightweight yet with plenty of support for carrying a toddler. |
|
 | Cotton midweight.....a bit more substanial than the lightweight slings, making it more supportive for wearing older babies. |
|
 | Cotton midweight twill with a fancy satin brocade panel. |
|
 | Two-layer silk dupioni; luxiourious to wear and look at. |
|
 | Polyester crushed satin....ooh la-la! |
|
 | Peachskin polyester. This sling doesn't breath well, so it's not my first pick for newborns, but sure is pretty and folds up small, making it great for older babies. |

What else might you need to know?:
 |
The majority of these ring slings measure 30" wide...that's wide enough to accomodate most toddlers and yet not so wide that newborns are "lost" in all the fabric. |
|
The rings used are made specifically for baby slings, weight-tested for strength. Most rings are colored alluminum, some are nylon. |
|
If you would like to know more about the fabrics used, this website has a work-in-progress fabric info page. |
|
The shoulder style of these slings is called a "modified hotdog." Sure wish someone had come up for a prettier name. Unglamourous as it sounds, it's a good looking, practical and comfortable shoulder style that suits all sorts of people, no matter what their shape and build. |
(please do include your mearurement with your order if possible for sizes X-Large and up.)
