Sizes!

[craftyashley]

I've had a battle with buying my girls clothes ever since they were born. I thought a list for you soon-to-be parents would be helpful as to the sizing variations of the clothes that I've tried out. Anyone who has any more advice would be great!

Gymboree- Runs long, but lean

Carters- shirts run true to size, but pants run small in waist and long in length, also onesies run small

Old Navy- on a whole runs small- buy one size larger.

Circo (Target)- runs smaller, but not too much!

Osh Kosh- Runs really large. Especially longer in sleeves and pants.

Gerber- Runs really small- maybe buy two sizes up!

Guess- runs a tad small.

Dillard's Brand- runs really large!

Calvin Klein- runs small and lean.

Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm going to print it out & keep it for when I have our baby here shortly and start having to buy clothes as she grows as opposed to stocking up ahead of time!

I had no idea that when your kid is 12 mos. they may be too small or too big for 12 mos. size clothes! I have wasted so much money buying stuff "off season" and on clearance, my girls are super petite and don't necessarily fit into the size of their age. In fact, they can still wear the 6-12 mos. stuff from Gymboree, and they are almost 2! The reverse is also true, my cousin has a big boy! He was in 12-18 mos. when he was only 8 mos. old!
