Pumpkin Patch kids clothes - sizes?

22 replies

Now that I have discovered by the power of other MNers that you can buy Pumpkin Patch clothes online (I bought them in Aus and love them) I have spent the last two hours on the website looking at the sale items. There are no stores near me so I need some help with the sizing!! The DTs are 15 months old - their Patch tops are size 1 and fit well. They have some Patch trousers that are also size 1 and a bit big at present.

Question - if I want to buy winter things for end of this year should I buy size 2 - does that mean age 2??? Or bigger?

2 means for 2 year olds.

did you go back a page? I've done that before and managed to save everything and get to check out as well.

What you buying?

probably a couple of coats for next winter. I already have one of the sweat tops with "champ" on it so might buy another one in a different colour. A couple of the gilets as they look so cute in them!!! Did you get the pic I sent MArs??!!

I had a parcel arrive yesterday from the pumpkin patch sale, seems like excellent value, if they wash and wear ok, dd loves her new trousers and top, and ds2 has a new rugby top, but ds1 trousers seem so wide , but maybe I'm just not fashionable enough.

Jbck · 11/02/2006 14:19

I'd say they were a little smaller than UK sizes, DD is a petite 4 yr old yet a little cardi my SIL in Oz sent is age 4 & only just fits her. She wears 2-3 stuff in UK shops.

I really like pp for girls clothes. Other shops are disappointing this year unless you want labels, stupid statements about how cute they are and pictures of hairbrushes.

anyone else had difficulty getting onto their site today? It stopped working around 9.30 this morning and still seems to be down.

Personally I find their sizes come up quite big - and I have a petite 4 year old too!

We get Pumpkin Patch clothes sent to us from NZ and tbh I'm not a fan. Maybe they have different styles in different countries? I can dig out some PP clothes if anyone's interested - girls only atm

Dustanyone · 11/02/2006 19:50

Yes Harrogatemum, me.

Thats why I asked for the link, thought I'd got the wrong site!

gingernut · 11/02/2006 20:07

I find them on the big side too, but then if you look at the heights their sizes do not correlate with most UK shops' sizes (e.g. size 3 is up to 100cm rather than 98cm).

Piffle · 11/02/2006 20:15

God bless their adjustable waistbands for under size 3 as well!
