[quote=Anonymous]I buy size up for almost everything. Like a PP said, sometimes kids have sudden growth spurts and then you are stuck with clothes that barely or never got worn. Even for dressy clothes for a special occasion, I buy a size up. What this means is that at any given time, we usually have some dressy items that fit perfectly (because I bought them last year) and some that are a little big. This means we always have something that fits just right for photos, but also say we are going to a wedding -- we also have something for the rehearsal dinner that might be a bit roomy but is close enough.

Also I look for good quality fabrics that will encourage multiple years of use For my DD, we have these hand-me-down knit dresses from several very good quality brands (Hanna, Petite Bateau, Máman) and she actually wore them for several years because they are so cozy and stretchy that they felt comfy even when they were loose and fell to her knees, but still feel good now that they fit a little snug because the fabric is soft and stretchy. She will likely outgrow the style before she technically outgrows the dresses. So I look for clothes like that a lot -- good quality knit fabrics that bounce back and are forgiving.[/quote]
