How do Boden children's sizes come up?

[dinny]

dd is a tall-ish nearly 6 year old... prob some way of checking online, is there?

yep www.boden.co.uk go to girls clothes, pick any item then look for the link that says 'garment measuremts'. It brings up a pop up box with all the measurements for each size.

Happy shopping

Not that big. Bought some stuff for DSs and while they fit there's no growing room. Might be worth going for one size up.

SO annoying there is no 6-7!!! dd is probably a perfect 6-7 but size 7-8n will be way too big, just know it!

thats really weird! Do they not do a 6-7 at all or are they out of stock??????

No 8-9 or 10-11 either....weird.

Had some funny sized stuff from them (albeit second hand from ebay) one pair of surf shorts size 18-24 months which were more like 3-4 years (fortunately had 18 month DD2 and 3yr DD1). I assumed they were mislabelled.

DD is pretty average (aged 3). I've found that Boden trousers come up really short in the leg. She's already grown out of 3-4 trousers because of the length, even though they're still miles too big on the waist.

Tops tend to come up wide on her too.

Other way for my children. Trousers seem enormous, but tops fit well.

Ds2 is nearly 8 and still fits into 5-6 - he is slightly below average height.

I would have thought 5-6 would fit your dd well.

no size 6-7 at all - I find this quite common, it seems. really annoying!
