Clothing sizes..

cbranch89 · August 2011

I know this may have been posted before but I only really lurk on my phone beause that's easier but Trenton is asleep so I decided to get on. What clothing brands have you notice that are true to size, run small, or big? Just wondering because I have some Target brand (Circo) that run a bit big. Does Carter's run small? I know Gerber shrinks. What's your experience?

Gerber is a joke. DD can't even fit into 3-6 month onesies, and she's not even 3 months yet (and not large for her age). Carter's does seem to run a tad small in the torso (length-wise). The brands that she wears that seem to fit the closest to the sizes on the labels are Gymboree, Baby Gap, and The Children's Place. Circo does run a little bigger than these.

Thanks for responding. I'm going shopping for the wee-one again soon and wanted to see what others noticed about brands

I was just thinking of this. I need to post a pip but on my phon now. I have two things same size on the tags yet so off the mark! It's so hard to know. I have found gap is the only thing true to size, but all we have in that are sleepers. Also zucchini fits pretty close as does Bailey boys.

DD wears 0-3 in Circo and Old Navy, 6 months in Carters (unless it says 3-6 months, then she wears that) and 6-9 months in Gerber. It's really ridiculous how inconsistent it is!

I was glad this topic came up on this board a while ago or DD would have never worn a whole size of Carters clothes because I didn't realize something that said 6 months meant 3-6 months, not 6-9 months!

Gerber runs reallly, really small. Carters is skinnier than most onesies, and I find they shrink a lot, which sucks.

Gap runs big. Silas wears 6 month clothing in everything else, but can still fit into 0-3 with Gap.

I've had a similar experience to pp. DS is in 6month Carters sleepers, 0-3 month Carters pants, and 3 month Carter's body suits. Sleepers are always my issue. Gap run big for sure and DS is in smaller sizes there. Best sizes I've found are H&M because they do a 2-4 month size and it's perfect for DS right now.

Hard to say. The lbs on those clothes are a joke. Hudson weighs over 16lbs but according to Carter's, he should be in 9 month clothes but is still wearing 3 month. His Gymboree clothes (3-6) are HUGE on him and Children's place seems to almost fit. All our Gap stuff is for winter (long sleeves/pants) and since it is still 118 here, we will probably never get to wear it!

I hate the gerber onsies.

CBranch89- I know this has nothing to do with your question but I love your siggy pics!! What do you use to create them and add the works etc?

We don't have anything Gerber but we received some WalMart branded outfits (Faded Glory) as gifts and that's what he outgrows first. Especially the sleepers. The feet are tiny.

I took the pictures with my Canon Rebel then I sent them to Lightroom to play with them. Afterwards I used Photoshop for the text
