What about the poor 9 and 13 year olds?[/quote]

Very few brands have size 9. Gymboree used to. Everything there ran a little small (especially compared to a huge brand like Cat & Jack), but it was great. They also didn't used to do split sizing.

I'm convinced that like every cheapening trend in clothing - using more polyester and rayon blends, thinner fabric, etc. - more and more stores doing split sizing is about saving them money while charging customers the same prices as before.[/quote]

I have a 9yo and a 12yo.  They are both wearing 10/12 from these brands, despite the fact that one child is 10" taller and 35 lbs heavier than the other.  But the 9yo has long since outgrown an 8, and the 14 would fall right off the shoulders of the 12yo.  The 10/12 doesn't really fit either of them, but it's better than the alternatives.  Really wish I could find clothes that actually fit them, though![/quote]
