Dd was sized for leos last week and she is in between sizes. I am not sure what to do. All of her measurements fit into a child xl on the chart, except her torso, which is at the upper edge for jr medium. normally, I would go the size up, maybe even go to an A-small (there is no a-xs) so she might get 2 years from it. But the difference in the measurements for the chest and hips are 3-5" each, even with the Jr medium! While I know she will continue to grow in the next year, I don't anticipate that huge of a change. I had been hoping that she could keep her Leo from this year, but she informed me that it is riding up too much - according to the size chart, the torso is already about an inch too short for her and she is still 6 months away from comp season.
So, given all that info, should I go with the JrMed, and hope she doesn't grow too much, or go with the adult small and maybe look to have a seamstress take it in at the hips/shoulders and hips?
