Didriksons girls sizing

[coldears]

does anyone know how generous didriksons girls sizing is ? dd is 14 and i would like to get her a new warm coat as she really feels the cold, she is about 5ft 1 but tends to wear adult 8 so i am debating whether to get her a children's size 160cm or 170cm or order an adults one.
we dont have any stores anywhere near so i would have to order online and dont want to waste money returning wrong size, plus if i was to order her a girls one it is much cheaper than adults and i dont know if she is likely to grow much anytime soon.

also where is the best place to purchase didriksons online ?

viking kids site says sizing tends to be generous is this true ?

I got my DD one and it was MASSIVE!

My ten year old, 5ft tall and 12/13 in Fat Face clothes has a 160cm Alana. The waist on hers is gathered with the elastic bungee thing at the back but she isn't big enough for most size 8s yet.

I would go bigger.

im thinking of 170cm zoe but will it be really long on dd ?

Ive no idea but watching with interest as if there sizing is reasonable I may be able to justify buying a girls one
