Hi all,
I just finished this dress for my 10 year old. I went with the size 12 since it is nearly the end of the summer – I want it to fit next year too!
For the Original Poster – my daughter is on the slim size (wears size 10 slim gap jeans) and the width fits her nicely, the length is a little long though. I don’t know if that helps you. I think in general the O+S patters are made for slim to normal sized children. They don’t run wide like the Simplicity of other big brand does.
One tip I’d include, if your girl has a developing body, would be to either extend the front facing longer down – so it’s more like the length of a shelf bra (and match the back as well). I had to add to the facing for my daughter because it went right above her chest and the thin quilting cotton was a bit too revealing.
