Amber in AUS Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 How do the sizes run? Small, large, true? I am looking to order some summer stuff for my kiddos coming into our summer but we have not had anything from them before. I measured their height and compared it to Gymboree's size guide and it spat out numbers i am comfortable with but was wondering how that translated to actual fit IYKWIM. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptwoman Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 gAAAAAH, SO over loosing my posts!! I find the online sizing accurate, except for the waists on some of the stretch fabreic skirts and trousers which seem to run a little large for my miss skinny. I particularly like their slim range for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 They tend to run a little larger than other brands - for example, if I buy something from Target, I will buy a size larger than Gymboree. Their size charts are very helpful and their clothes have room to grow. Love Gymboree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyej Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Height-wise, I find their measurements pretty accurate. Things tend to be a little wider though. I had to give up on their clothes for the most part due to width, though sometimes the slims will work for my less-slim child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber in AUS Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hmm, my DS is pretty skinny. We have trouble keeping up his pants unless they are drawstring or on the skinny side. Height wise he is measuring just into the size 6. He will be 5 in Jan and these clothes will be for Christmas, so i expect him to grow a little between now and then. Should i get 5's to be safe or go with the 6? The girls came at size 3 and 7 which i am more than comfortable with. They were both in the middle of the measurement range for their height.

keptwoman Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 It depends what you are getting. I found anything that was a firmer material (denim or drill for instance) had adjustable waist things and was fine to buy for length. It was the non-adjustable waists that we had issues with. Also look at their slim range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weddell Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I agree with the others, it runs a little bit large/wide. We love gymbo but some of the things fall right off the waist of my skinny girl. Adjustable waists definitely help. I also sometimes order slims if I'm buying online (they don't sell slims instore). We can definitely wear gymbo sizes longer than the same size in other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber in AUS Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well, i went with the size 6 both in shorts and T's. The shorts i chose have drawstring waists so hopefully we are safe. If not, i can sew, i will just have to alter them or put them away for next year :) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
