Girl's clothing question

What exactly is size 6x?

Ericka Kammerer...

Yep. It's one of those in-between sizes (boys have
a 7x). The jump in girl's between 6 and 7 is pretty huge,
as is the jump between 7 and 8 in boy's. The 6x/7x are
sort of in between sizes for when your kid gets a bit
bigger but isn't ready for the length of the next size.
Of course, it mystifies me why they had to make in between
sizes in the first place. Isn't it intuitively obvious
that such a huge jump in length is a problem? I also
found something like a 4" difference in inseams between
boy's size 8 and 10 in some lines, which seems a bit ridiculous
to me as well.

Best wishes,
Ericka

Nan, feeling a bit silly for asking ;-)

Nan...

Ah, okay. E has taken a stretch and I was looking online at some
clothes, and wondered about that. She's so darned skinny she needs
size 4 width, but size 5/6 length.

toto...

Don't they make a size 5 slim or 6 slim?

Nan...

Knit Chic...

I had a very hard time finding slims. I'm not sure why but I was able to
find slims in boys clothing but not girls.

Nan...

Same here. My ds wore 10 slims for over 2 years. It was easy to shop
for him.

They're pretty hard to find for girls. We've got some adjustable
waist jeans, but she hates the elastic.
