Dd1 is a normal sized 12 year old. She is not skinny, but she is certainly not overweight - I would say that she has a "womanly" figure, with hips etc.
She has just ordered some clothes from Next, they are age 15. She recently bought a bikini age 16 from Tammy. She is convinced that all of her friends are still wearing age 12 clothes, and that by the time she is actually 15, she "will be in size 20 womens' clothes".
Can you please help me to reassure her that
a)the number on the clothes is pretty much arbitrary
b) many 12 year olds are wearing clothes that are marked as being for older children.
Thanks
