    I wonder if there is any way of pushing for better regulations.. i understand sometimes clothes have different cuts etc and sit on different parts of the body but the variance is AMAZING!

    That's why I never buy a pair of pants unless they have the adjustable waist elastic in them. I've seen sz1 pants with the same width waist band as a sz5 in some brands and there is no way known that they would fit a baby/small child, even the chubbiest babies wouldn't fit them I don't think. We've been really lucky with shoes though because there are only 3 brands of shoes that I buy my kids - clarks, gro-shu and Thomas Cook because they are the only ones that have a wide fitting but if I brought a heap of different shoe brands I would notice probably.

    It drives you absolutely insane doesn't it. To get DD to try on clothes is a nightmare so it takes me a few trips to and from the shops to get clothes that fit - AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

    Liviam - I'm forever buying something, getting DD to try it on at home and taking it back!

    What I don't get is how sizes can differ from the same shop? I bought DD 2 t-shirt material dresses from Target - same size, except one is already short enough to be a t-shirt and the other sits at a decent lenght just above her knee

    In some shops, she's still a size one, in another shop, I just had to had to get her a size 3!
