Tell me Carter's will shrink?!

I guess this is a question I should have asked BEFORE ordering half a winter wardrobe. Huh?

95% of DD's existing clothes are a 2T. Often the pants are too long, but otherwise that's what she needs for her chubby legs and tummy. So I got some awesome coupons and ordered about 15 articles from Carter's for $80! Except I ordered all 2Ts and they are way too big. I don't want to say they run big, because she's 11 months, so I guess they run more true to size Wink

Anywho ... how much/will they shrink? Wash and dry them? Or just go over to the Carter's store and exchange? I love these clothes and want to keep them - especially since I got such good prices. But a closet full of too big clothes does no one any good.

TIA!

    In my experience, Carter's won't shrink that much.  I would probably take them back to Carter's and try and exchange them.

    This. Carters seems pretty true to size. The Jammies shrink the most, but nothing significant. I'd prob take things back to swap out for 18 or 24.

    Alright, wishful thinking I guess. Thanks for saving me from removing all the tags!

    As a side note - you're on the South side of town, right? I just noticed that they opened a new Carter's store where Old Navy/Nordstrom Rack/World Market is.... very bad for my wallet :)

    Thank you! Their web page is all messed up with store locations. It says "Carter's at Arbor Walk" is 2 miles from my zip code. Their map shows it at La Crosse and Mopac, but Google Maps shows that 360/183 Confused which is where I happen to know Arbor Walk to be. I thought I was going to have to drive to Southpark Meadows.I hate going over there - it's so busy!

    The shopping center you mentioned is super close to me!

    I agree that Carter's is pretty true to size and doesn't shrink. I'd return and swap out sizes. Good luck!
