Re: Just Checking In... Again and Venting! (Long)

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

who will be 5 the end of December still has a larger size shirt

then pants. I remember buying size 12 month pants and 18-24 month

tops and the same problem, you almost needed the larger size shirt to

get over her head. Still some of her 3T shirts fit but the neck isn't

always big enough or give enough to get over her head. The other

problem had with pants is that if I finally got to buy a bigger

size for length then they were falling off of her waist. Thank

goodness for elastic. My mother would put little tucks in the waist

bands and a hem because even though she may have needed the next size

it was too much of a difference.
