Clothing sizes!

Oh, I know. The worst was when I ordered some Catimini clothes online off NZSale. They were size 1, he was four/five months at the time, and they were too small! He's a big baby, but still!(As my friend said - French babies don't get fat either??)

It annoys me too- I got some stuff from Farmers the other day- size 2 was way too big so have had to go down to size 1 for winter, when she will be 2.5!

I know ! DD is still in some size 1 pants but is a 3-4-5 in tops depending where from. And she's tall. I second Kmart for clothes they are awesome and cheap.

I try stuff on them now.

I have a dress and some bloomers from JK in 0-3mth. They're a pretty good fit for my long skinny girl (8 weeks) who still fits NB tops/onesies but not leggings, so I would say they're a smaller fit than most stores, but perfect for us. The 0-3mth PP dresses I have for her are still way too big.

14lb bowie!!! DD just hit 10lb. You must have biceps of steel

JK clothes seem to be okay. I got a whole lot of 1 year stuff that fits pretty well, maybe a bit small. The tops seem to be quite long rather than mega short which is a nice change

Generally I find the sizing pretty good, although sometimes PP sizing is very strange, DS is still in some of their NB pants but in 3-6months for most of there pants. I find JK sizing bad. DS is exactly on the 50th percentile but most JK clothes don't fit him, especially there bodysuits (full leg and no leg). Brought snowbaby ones and they were very large in the body with very short legs, had to send them straight back. There jeans fit him tho.

I find PP clothing huge! Well, some things. Tshirts are ok and jeans cos they have adjustable waist but their jackets and jumpers are massive. 6-12month size looks silly on my boy..i've always found JK a bit smaller so i've always sized up a bit and fits perfectly. T&T are alright. Pants can be a bit short tho!! I used to like farmers but now not so much. Size 0 pants are too big but 00 are too short. Size 0 everything else is ok. Warehouse size 0/1 tshirts/bodysuits but 0pants. If in doubt I always size up. That way I know he'll fit it one day. Especially when shoppinh online.
Oh with kmart I found a HUGE difference between size 0 and size 1 I only have a few things coz we don't have a kmart but size 0 is getting on the smallish side but size 1 is huge.

Gah, wish I could sew lol i'd make my own clothing

Ive given up buying clothes on line for that very reason. DS is pretty average weight and is on the tall side, but he is still fitting some size 0 shorts, and size 2 tshirts and hes 14 months! The bigger pants just fall down, and the smaller shirts show up his little tummy.

Hopes - I had the same problem with ordering Catimini gear from NZSale. I bought a cute as outfit for DD when she was only 3 months old but it was a size 1 so she could wear it the summer just been when she was almost 1yo but it was too small for her even at 3 months! OK she was 17lb by that stage so certainly not small but no way was she in size 1 in other brands! I find of all brands, Cotton On Kids are the only brand that are true to size. PP tend to be bigger, which was good when DD was first born as she was 11lb 8oz so was miles too big for NB in other brands but PP was fine on her. Don't think I've had any issues size wise with JK but I tend not to buy much of it cause it's quite expensive for what it is I reckon.
I buy 90% of Isla's clothes at Cotton On Kids now cause it's cheap but decent enough quality, super cute, and it's the right size!
