J&J Sizing

[bean47]

I think I remember from past posts they run big?

DD is 21 lbs and 29.75 inches currently. She's in a mix of 9-12 and 12-18 clothes.

What size do your girls wear? @tambcat creamsiclechica bebeetmoi TrudyCampbell anyone else

Thanks ladies!

I'm looking for stuff to fit for the fall/winter so nothing I would need right now. It's so hard to know how these kiddos will grow. I bought a ton of summer clothes (various brands) in 12-18 months based on how she was growing but they are mostly still to big!

I'd go with the 12-18 months, Bean. Bella's on the small side, but she's hit a little growth spurt, and the 12-18 still fit her with some room to grow. I find sometimes, personally, the Layette collection runs a little smaller for me than the Girl's. Right now, we're at 21.5lbs, 27.5 inches. Are you ordering online or in store? The tags usually say height/weight on them they recommend for the size. If you're ordering online, let me know, and I'll grab a couple and look at my tags to refresh what those measurements are. Hope that helps!

Thanks lady! I was planning to order online but I see that there is a store not too far from me. I think I'd do better seeing item in person to judge the size. I'm also browsing some stuff on ebay

I would do 12-18 for fall/winter. DD is also 21 lbs and all her summer stuff is 6-12, but I will definitely be buying 12-18 for next season!

Violet is smaller, she's in 6-12 and I'm going to continue to buy 6-12 for fall. Exceptions- jersey tops and sweaters. I have both in 12-18 and they aren't that big.

Dresses run the biggest IMO. V wore size 3-6 for her 1 year photos.

It runs big.  Here's Katelyn in 18-24 months (she's on one knee):


It's a bit big but if that onesie fits at Christmas, SCORE!.  

Here's 12-18 months on her at Easter:




Yep, that's a terry sleeper underneath the dress.  That's just how she rolls.

In March, she was 18 lbs, 32.25".  In June, she was 19 lbs 14 oz, 33".  

All outfits are wide on her but I'm used to that. I buy for length.

Oh and the skirt has an adjustable waist! It is truly awesome.

I love adjustable waists! I'm sure that is a huge bonus for your tall skinny girl.

[TrudyCampbell]

I'd say it runs long more than anything. The dresses are LONG. V is really short so I obviously notice it more.

I agree with this completely.  Mostly things are so long on her when they're big!

I didn't read the posts but the layette runs small ( or true to size if you will) and the other stuff is larger. I buy the age match for the most part unless it is for something to wear immediately than I try to get a better match.

I still need fall/Halloween outfit for K for tgiving dinner. grrrrr.

[teamhayes]

semi (un)related but I love adjustable waists too. K w is still in 6 mnth pants at gap and osh kosh bc of the adjustable waist.
