So over childrens shoe & clothing sizes!

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Today i bought DD 4 pairs of shoes - 2 pairs of thongs and 2 pairs of shoes from k-mart!

And guess what, i had to buy THREE yep thats right THREE different sizes!
Thongs from Cotton On Kids = size 8
Shoe 1 - Size 4
Shoe 2 - size 5

And the shoes from k-mart are the same brand?

In DD's cupboard at the moment i have t-shirts ranging from 00 - 1, her pants are generally an 0 but ALL leggings are a 1 and skirts sometimes a 00-1... WTF is going on?

I seriously wish there was some regularity in sizing, even within the same brand.. I LOVE the Mini Mango brand but each item i buy is different, i need DD there just to make sure something is going to fit!

Tell me about it. Charlie has clothes ranging from 0 to 3 in her wardrobe and they all fit perfectly. Shoes are especially important at your DD's age to fit right though because you can ruin thier developing feet so easily

I always try shoes on with her there but i just couldn't believe the sizes ranged so much.. it's crazy... we should protest for guidelines to make the sizes the same

I hear you DS1 wears 00 up to 1 depending on brand!!!!

DS is in 3 different sizes. As for shoe sizings and brands... aaaaagh! I just ask "What's that size in Clarkes?" as everyone knows that conversion for some reason.

It's terrible! DD is wearing size 00-0 tops and size 0-1 pants (cloth nappies though so her pants always have to be bigger). But she has a 0000 t-shirt from best & Less and it still fits her!!

Oh I know, it's awful isn't it! Oskar is mainly 2 or 3 in clothes but some 4's fit... then Elijah, well he's in 00 - 1. Sooooo hard!
