BTDT - Clothing Brand Sizes

duffmaker · March 2013

I'm doing some shopping on Carter's right now...

(PSA on top of the everything 50% off there is a 20% off $40+ code in the MM catalogs, it's SPRING20 so go get some good deals ladies!)

... and I'm trying to decide how much to buy in NB and how much to buy in 3 months. But I can not for the life of me remember how Carter's runs.

I know Gerber onsies always run small, M is wearing 12month everything else right now but her 18month Gerber onsies are snug on her. Garanimals and Carter's Child Of Mine run kind of boxy (so they never fit M's little frame). Gymboree runs kind of small too and Children's Place runs about on target, depending on what you're buying from there.

Any thoughts? I know it can vary by kid but in general... certain brands run their sizes differently, so I was hoping some one could shed some light.

Carters runs long and lean. I don't know how anything else runs, because we need long and lean so we mostly buy

It's so hit or miss depending on what you're buying. I think most of their stuff runs pretty true to size, moreso than most brands. Their onesies are the best [I effing hate Gerber anything]. DD is a big kid and has always been one size up on Carter's; fo

Hahah skio I really like Gerber Onsies (Onsie brand, whatever they're by Gerber) I like how nice and soft and thin they are but they run super small.

M was 6lbs 14ozs when she was born and she was in NB everything for a v

Carter's runs long and lean DS1 can't wear their two piece pjs because the sleeves would cut his circulation off!

I think Carter's runs super small. My son has always been long and thin and he's always worn 2 sizes up in Carter's. he just turned 2 and he's wearing 4t 2 piece cotton pj's, the ones that are supposed to be fitted. When he was a newborn he fit right away
