new Crazy 8 stuff

[pugz]

I like a lot of it but DD's closet is FULL for this winter so I'm going to buy some of it in 4t for next winter.  peekasku.com/SKU%20day/2014/2014-11-03-C8.html

I have a few Crazy8 pieces that were gifted to me before DS was born. How would you compare their sizing to other brands like Carters and TCP?

In my experience, TCP runs small. Crazy 8 does not.

Cute! I remember when Crazy 8 seemed to be the "tacky" and cheap version of Gymboree. Now it's consistently cuter/more up-to-date, and still cheaper. Woot.

Crap I just bought a lot of TCP stuff for the next size up! I don't know why I bought so much without trying it on him first. I guess I was all ZOMG SALE!

I think you should be fine. It's not like TCP 2T = Crazy 8 3T. It's just that, when DS was in 2T, he grew out of his TCP stuff first, then the other brands later.

I really like that cream sweater! I'll probably skip it, though, bc hoods are annoying

Those boots would be perfect for E's Christmas sweater dress!

Oooh, I really like some of it. I wonder if DD will go into 3T this winter...She's only been in 2T a few months, but some of her pants are already looking a little short. She's tall but super skinny, and I'm starting to have a horrible time predicting this stuff.

Cute stuff for the boys! This is becoming one of my favorite brands for DS. Even better since there is a store close by my parents and my mom loves it just as much :-)

ooh I really like both the toddler boy and girl collections. I was planning on getting my niece a Gymbo outfit but I'm loving the red polka dot pants!

I was in the store earlier this week and the salesperson told me they were prepping for the new line.

I'm liking it for DS, but I've been buying him stuff from there for a while.

In terms of fit, I feel it fits like Carters. Gymboree definitely runs bigger.

I feel like Gymbo/Crazy 8 are cut wider. My 7 year old can still wear 2T shorts from there. CP seems to be slimmer and more true to size for my kids.

Ditto this.

The shirts are so wide on my 3 year old. She can't wear most of the shirts from both.
