I hope I'm posting in the right place...couldn't quite figure out if this fits here!
It's that time of year and my daughter has outgrown every pair of her jeans from last spring.
She is so tough to fit these days and I'm guessing many of you gymnast parents have similar problems! Gymnast thighs are tough to fit apparently!
She is 12....weighs about 75 pounds and is about 4'8". Last spring, she had jeans from Old Navy size 12 (I think slim but not sure) as well as Justice stretch 'jeggings' both in 12 and 14....they seemed to fit the same!
I randomly happened upon a sale at Abercrombie Kids...their jeans were 14.95! Getting rid of last year's styles. I bought 10 and 12 regular. 10 she couldn't get over her thighs. 12 fit but were too low waisted. Thankfully she got that!
Today we tried 00 at Delia's just for kicks as you get a $10 gift card just for trying jeans on!! The 00 just about fit, though she complained the thighs were tight when she sat down. Also, they were too high waisted. I'm guessing this is because they are a junior cut and she has no hips yet. Mind you I believe a growth spurt is on the very close horizon!
Sorry for my long post but if anyone else has suggestions, they would be appreciated! I guess she is somewhere between the girls and juniors but not fully in either place. This may prove to be a challenge when school starts because she can only continue in jean shorts for so long (jean shorts are perfect...no thigh problem!)
Thanks!
