songsparrow Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've searched online but can't find an answer to this question, and am hoping someone can help! I want to order a T-shirt and hoodie from a fundraiser for my older daughter. They only come in women's sizes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and there is no size chart available. My daughter wears a 16/18 in girls' sizes (e.g., Justice); she's outgrown the girls' XL at Target. I'm not sure whether to order the women's small or medium. Any advice?

TeenagerMom Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I would order a Women's Small. I'm 5'0, 99 lbs and wear an XS to a S. My DD is the same size as me & can wear size 14 girls-S Women's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammieb Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Does the fundraiser you're purchasing from have a measurement chart?? DD (12) is in the same boat --- too big for girls sizes but just barely in women's. Typically I get her a small, except for Target clothing. For some reason, their tshirts run kind of small. We typically get a medium there. If they have number sizes, dd typically wears a ladies size 4. Hope that helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The size chart is going to be the best judge. My dd wears girls 16, but either wears a small or medium women's shirt depending on the brand. She's 5'5" and 100lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 There really are no standard sizes, and t-shirts especially can vary widely, as some are based on men's sizes, some are specifically sized for women, and some are junior's. Ideally, the fundraiser folks would have a size chart or better yet samples to try on. Lacking that, I'd get the hoodie in medium, as a larger hoodie will work over other clothes and she can get more wear out of it as she grows. I'd choose between S and M for the tee, but be prepared for the S to be too snug or for the M to be huge. Sorry it isn't easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songsparrow Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks everyone, your replies helped a lot! I decided to order the medium for both. As AskPauline pointed out, if the hoodie is large, she can wear it oversized for now and grow into it. I decided that if the T-shirt is too large, maybe I can take it in, whereas if it's too small we're out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
