Op here and Abercrombie and Zara for the win! Will try other suggestions. Thanks!

Aerie is what works for my very small 12 year old

Another vote for Tilly's!

My petite 11th grader constantly laments how large clothes are! We have found Hollister online will have XS but the stores sell out almost instantly. Do other gen x people remember the store "5, 7, 9"?! It was for petite people, right? I wish the stores would stock for smaller sizes, there is a market for it!

Abercrombie kids for wide leg sweatpants.

Cmfrt — kids XL.

Edikted xxs sweatshirts.

Buckle jeans.

T2Love

Lululemon size zero or even 2. Buy “cropped” styles

Athleta girl

KatieJ - tween sizes

Abercrombie Kids is pretty big among my 6th grader's peers who are still visibly in kids' sizes. She's the same size as your daughter OP.

In 6tht grade my tiny girl had luck with of all things, Jessica Simpson brand stuff found at Macy's.

I was going to suggest these same two. Zara kids is also good, and so is Frankie's on the Park (from Dallas). PacSun also has a small kids section online that is very teen.

Abercrombie Kids has very trendy clothes in children’s sizes.

Zara Kids seems to be popular with that age group and has some fun hoodies and tops.

Tilly’s Kids is always a good bet, very trendy clothes .

Roxy or O’Neil kids is great as well.

That means that you're not into Gap and Old Navy because most of their clothes are just cheaper versions of what you find in all the other stores.

Mine is the same size and for hoodies that are the fancy brands she just gets xxs; you have to regularly refresh those websites for a while because they’re the first sizes to go out of stock when they restock.

For the right inexpensive sweats, we have lucked out with zara in size 11-12 or 9-10- the length can be erratic and stock changes quickly so it requires looking every week or so. We’ve also lucked out with hand me downs from 2-3 seasons past which seem to run a tiny bit smaller.

For a splurge and a girl who’s really on a quest for baggy, Aritzia makes their sweats in a 2xs and short length that’s only available online. We found some in-store that must have been returns. Careful because they are strict about return deadlines and final sales.

A&F is best for short length pants and jeans but they don’t carry them in-store.
