I don't get it!

All the stuff that I've got for Izzy in size 2-3 years is HUGE, and the labels all say 97cm or 98cm...but going by her growth chart (she is average) she wont be 98cm til she is 3 years and 9 months old...when she is 3 (when the clothes should last til) she will only be 94cm!

So who do they make these clothes for?!

That's what I want to know!!!!

As you know Amelia is tall and slim, but everything is way too long for her! She's on the 98th Centile ffs!!!!

Obvioulsy made for the 2% of the baby population that are obesse giants!

lol

we only have problems with the waist

The thing is her stuff up to 2 still fits but are a bit tight getting them on, and she hates tops going over her head anyway - so worse if they are tight...so she will have to wear them soon

No way is she going to fit in the trousers though - they are massive.

Luckily most of her upto 2 trousers are still ok..but they wont last til the next size fits...

So what size is Amelia wearing now?

Izzy is in age 3 and 4 stuff from France I bought stuff there last summer for NEXT winter and its already tight...my mum bought age 3 stuff for this summer and its still in France, but Im not sure it will fit!

Yep its stupid they are huge, Taylas mainly still in 12-18months.

I try to get the ones with those stretchy button things to pull them in - but it drives me mad when they are too long!

We have this problem with H. He is tall but has a long body and shorter legs so he has been wearing 9-12m trousers uptil recently and the new pants are too long x

we try to get those but they can be pricey for a pair of jeans!!!

Rowans 2-3 years fit him really well in the leg, but either has to wear a belt or it has to have the buttons in side.

Tops though he still wears up to 18 months

I'm getting some of this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-Metre-of-BRITISH-BLACK-1%22--Button-Hole-Elastic_W0QQitemZ350370354068QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=211116064143&rvr_id=211116064143&cguid=0191e3e612e0a47a2f247854fee409f3 for the ones that don't have it!

its a nightmare childrens sizing!!
bradens waist is pperfect for the size 12-18 month but height wise he is way too tall for them!! he is perfect height for the 2-3 year trousers but the waist and bum area are ridiculously huge and look stupid even with a belt.
I generally only buy the trousers with pull tight elastic waists now cos they are the only ones we can keep on.

h+m is the worse, was in there the other day and had two diff pairs of jeans, both the same size but completely different when you looked at them!
Dita as we speak has h+m's size 4-6 month leggings and t-shirt on. and theres no sign of her growing out of them anytime soon lol...but she is in 9-12 month everywhere else

Lilly is that 2%

Caitlin (nearly 19months) has long slim body and short legs. Like H Caitlins 12-18mth trousers have only just started fitting - apart from Gap which are smaller so she in 18-24.

18-24mth tops fit her fine, though recntly bought alot from pumpkin patch sale that was age 2 (I assumed it was up to age 2) and they are huge. Thankfully most are long sleeved/leggings so will prob do her in the autumn.

I get peed when people buy her bigger. For some reason MIL and family think she looks about 3 and buy clothes 2-3. The other day MIL gave me clothes a friends grandaughter had grown out of - age 4-5 . She did say they prob a bit big now but will fit her next summer... eh no maybe in about 3 years. Now iv to store them along with all the other stuff thats too small grrr!

C is in 12-18 trousers for her legs but often gets a nice pampers waistband over top when they slide down her bum. Tshirts i put her in 12-18 or 18-24 but often have to roll sleeves up on 18-24. I bought some 2-3 jammies for her the other day and they are MAHOOSIVE reckon im looking at next winter for them

Thats what Im thinking for these 2-3 trousers - next winter!

Amelia wears 18-24months in everything. Her trousers are fitting her perfectly right now. My mum bought a pair of 2-3 jeans as she's tall and I'm not joking I could roll them up to her thighs!

Lisa continental sizes are a nightmare!!!

Pmsl!! So is Thomas. He had a huge growth spurt in January and all his 2-3 stuff fit him perfectly what seemed to be over night. Some trousers are a bit big round the waist but nothing a belt can't sort out.

I do make giant kids though

i was thinking about this earlier...olivers trousers he had on were 6-12m from pumkin patch and they said up to 72cm, but he's like 75cm and i still had to roll them up

i find clothes are stupidly big, oliver is quite dinky but i think by 1+ small and big toddlers, there isnt much difference between them anyway, i dont think oliver is that small...yet i still have to roll up most of his 9-12m clothes up...mostley the trousers as he has short legs like me, but even in the tops 12-18m would bury him x

god hannahs no where near 2-3 size clothing!
she wears a pair of jeans that are 6-9 months I wouldnt even say shes tiny either.

most of her clothes are 18-24 months with still a lot of room. she will probs be in 2-3 stuff when shes nearer 3. x

i have this
problem. Paige's 18/24 month jeans are huge! Big
round the middle and+way too
long. I can't roll up some of then cos their wide leg. Her 12 to
18 fit well in the leg, but gettin tight round the+middle. But 18 to 24
tops
fit fine?
Its stupid!

all of the boys have a problem with the waist have to get the adjustable ones every pair is massive they must think all children are obese lol xx
