Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
I also want to say we accidentally found some boys' jeans that fit dd well. I think the only reason that dd accepted them is because someone had put them in the women's section by accident. But she tried them on and they were great. We didn't realize they were boys' until we went to buy them. They went by waist measurement instead of a size.

Same with GAP. I don't find too much of a variance in quality. I buy the kids jeans when they're $10 a pair.

For tshirts if her length can accommodate I'd go directly to woman's. Or continue to look at the higher size ends of girls. Same with shorts. Thankfully both of my girls are in to the althetic look so for the most part their go to shorts are the typical basketball longer pull on style. ---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ---------- Quote:
As a side note, yes girls jeans come in sizes boys come in waist measurement BUT not always. European and some higher end US jeans, and also now some knock off copies, also come in sizing that appears to be closer to how they size men's jeans. Just something to be aware of when you shop.

Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
Kohls usually has a wide variety of styles for juniors. It is also possible to get some really fantastic deals there, especially end of the season online. So if you could get her to a Kohls store and try some sizes on, then you can watch online.

What size comes after girl's 16?
My DD can wear a 16 or a Juniors 0 so I would say a juniors 2 is what I would try. They are cut a little different, for curves, so the hip is larger than the waist, chest larger than the tummy. So if a girl is past 16 but not starting puberty changes yet at all, it may be better to look for an 18 at the stores that carry them.
Im lucky we have an Aeropostale outlet about 90 minutes away so I take DD there and we get jeans or shorts and tops for really good deals (way less than the mall store by the same name). I want to say I got her jeans for $7 a pair and tops for around $5 with the sales and coupon I had this fall. Anyway if you have an outlet mall with one of these it might be worth checking.

We looked online at Justice tonight for the sale items. The couple shirts she liked didn't have her size in the color she wanted. We'll check Kohl's too. It's also time to start dropping in on Goodwill and Salvation Army to look for the good stuff. I've had a few great finds there, but have to stop in and look frequently.

Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
My oldest girl went from a 12 slim to a juniors 00. She needed the length, girls sizes were too short. My younger went from girls 16 to women's 4. The even sizes seem to fit curvier figures and the odd sizes for the more angly ones. I have one tall and lean hipped girl and one short and big bootied one.

Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
I didn't realize that my daughter was developing until I noticed how poorly the 16's fit and how much better the 0's fit. She has a thinner build so it's not as noticeable I think. Worth experimenting with both clothing lines.

Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
There are so many different cuts of clothing available to juniors it's going to take some intention to find what works. No curves might work well in a boyfriend cut pant.
There is no smooth transition out of girls sizes. It's frustrating after years of being able to just pick up a size and have it be relatively ok. |

Re: What size comes after girl's 16?
It is frustrating to work with that transition.
My shorter, rounder, slightly higher weight, more developed daughter wears a smaller size than her taller, less curvy, lighter weight sister. What, what? |
