OT: how do AG clothes for girls fit?

[triplefigs]

I love the new Spring dress they have out. My DD wears a 6 or 7 but is ALL leg. She is 49" tall and weighs 44 pounds. Do the AG girl clothes run small, big, or true to size? Thanks!

I've found they run a bit small, although we've just ordered the Bitty Baby matching clothes so far (I think they call it the Little Girls Sizes) My daughter is 46 inches, 40 lbs and usually wears a size 5, and the little girls size large (wihich is 6-6x) fits just fine, with not much growth room, if that makes sense. I'd suggest going up one size probably. Luckily, with a dress, if it's a bit big it's OK.

That new dress is adorable! My daughter just got the bitty baby twins for Christmas so she's not getting one of the bigger dolls for awhile - too bad they don't make this in the bitty baby size too!

I think they run a little small. The only exception to this is I found the pajamas ran big - go figure. Especially the t-shirts. I got the girls the gymnastic t-shirts and I ordered a size bigger than usual and they fit fine. Good luck.

My daughter is 9 and wears a Medium from american girl comfortably- She is long and thin- so I stay away from the pants and shorts- but the dresses are great! (so she wears a 10 dress or a medium) So for us pretty true to size-

I have found they run small and will shrink too. So, IMO order up in size....

My youngest (7) is 47" tall and about 52 lbs. Not very tall, but very muscular. Anyway, she is participating in an American Girl fashion show (benefit for local Ronald McDonald House) as a "Bitty Baby" model. She fits perfectly into the size 6x clothing----but I wouldn't buy that size for her because I like some room to grow.

And as a point of comparison, she is a 6X in LandsEnd clothing but a 7 in almost everything else (Target, GapKids, etc).

Since your dd is taller than mine, I'd go with the size 7.

For my girls they ran very SMALL. I had to return and get 2 sizes bigger. hth

In the Large and Xlarge, I think they are a little big. My 11 DD is 5'4" and the XL fit her while most kid's 14/16 are too tight and short. The XL PJs were too big for me and I wear a size 8.
