Target Leggings sale and question

[noodleoo]

Target has kids leggings on Cartwheel this week for 50% off! Great sale. I bought some today but they fit DD perfectly right now, before washing. Does anyone know it they shrink? I’m wondering if I should have gotten a size up, even though it looked huge. I want them to last through the fall/winter if possible.

I usually size up in them. I got some for DD last fall when she was 3 in a size 4 and they were fine just a bit bunched up at the ankles. She's wearing them again this fall at almost 4 and they fit just fine, no issues with shrinking.

Darn, I just bought some!

I don't think they shrink very much, but b/c they are stretchy I was able to size up. Hopefully they will fit for a while. There seems to be a huge jump between sizes at Target. Two of my girls could either get leggings that just fit right now, but are on the cusp of being small, or go up a size and wear ones that are a little big.

Thanks for posting! Running to target to pick some up this afternoon. When in the “month” sizes we always bought a size up because they were outgrown so quickly. Toddler sizes seem to be lasting a lot longer and there is a bigger difference between sizes, so we just buy whatever size fits now. For that cheap, it may be worth buying a few extras to have on hand once she outgrows her current size though!

How do their leggings fit? I have the worst time buying leggings for L. I can find some 5T that are generous enough in the waist, but she also wears a lot of size 6 that are capri, but pants on her. We have one pair of hand me down Cat and Jack and I haven’t tried them on her yet but the waist looks a little smaller than her other ones.
