Target clothes - go from size 6 to 7/8 - is this new?

[Anonymous]

I’m having the same issue with Target. The 4/5 is a little small and the 6/6X huge. It’s annoying.

I found I needed to go to Carters / Osh Kosh for a few years to get sizing right.

Same issue for us too for the in between sizing. I’ve found what works for us is buying used/second hand clothing for the in between sizes as they seem to have already pre-shrunk in the previous washes. And we end up spending less money. My youngest gets hand me downs from all her siblings so she just picks from whatever fits her

My youngest is probably a full size ahead of her siblings in the size she's wearing for the size she is, due to shrinkage.

For target price points, h&m is similar & doesn’t have the big jumps

OP here - yes, this is true for us too! For the first PP - how many kids does the secondhand stuff last through? I've hesitant to buy stuff on consignment/thrift because I worry it won't last down to my younger girl.

OP again - I haven't managed to figure out their sizing though. They have sizes like 4-6 and half of them fit when she was 4 and the other half didn't fit until she was 6. Very confusing!!

This happens - sizing gets less consistent as the kids get older. The worst for us was that there is no size 11. It goes from 10 to 12/14 in almost every brand.
