What size of vertbaudet clothes do you buy for Myles? I remember you saying their clothes are very small.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I hadn't seen this! The 3Y dress shirts just fit him, 4y proabably would be better if short sleeved, but I think long-sleeved would have bunched at wrists under his jacket IYKWIM, so I kept the 3Y. The linen bermuda shorts fit in a 3y, but some linen trousers did not and were returned. Had to exchange a sweater for 4Y I did keep one 3y linen jacket for the suit, because of the sleeves, but it's pretty tight, so I also go the 4y jacket just in case (and figured he'd wear it again sometime next year). I also got shoes to match the suit and the 7toddler just fit him, when actually he's between a UK 6 and a UK 6.5 in Stride Rite. Does that help? M. has a pretty thick waist, if Joseph is thin then the 3y might be OK. It's girth that's been the issue more than length, with exception of the sweaters, which are just all around small, I think.

BTW, I'm STILL waiting for one item! Since April, I think!

Thanks for that, he has a bit of a tum as do all toddlers but is generally quite skinny so I reckon then based on your info that he would probably fit in a 3y, it was just t-shirts that I wanted to buy at the mo 'cos he's almost grown out of most of his Next 18-24 months ones already.

Cheers again. xx

victoria-have you tried the land's end husky?

No, not yet. For now most 3Y fit him here (in the UK), and his US Carters and Childrens Place clothes he's a 2Y. Things are just really small here...

I just realized that uk adult clothing is also different. Thought a 10 was a 10, but uk ten is much smaller!

I think womens clothes are 2 sizes behind US, if that makes any sense, ie US size zero is a 4 etc, etc. European sizing is even worse, differs so much from store to store.
