Cyrillus for children - how small is the sizing

[snapsnap]

My 3.5year old DD is tall and slimish, what is their sizing like. Trying on clothes is an chore and I dont want to create a scene and humiliate ourselves in a Parisian Department store!

They used to come up small for my kids but that was a long time ago. Why dont you use mail order and try them on at home and save yourself the hassle ?

It's been a while since my DDs wore Cyrillus (although I must go and look for DD4, who is probably still the right age..gorgeous stuff) but I recall it being spot on their age - i.e. the age 4 fit when they were 4.

HOWEVER, in all normal shops they have to go down a size. My DD4 is 9 and in age 6/7 from GAP and age 7 from M&S. They are both skinny and on the short side.

If she's tall-ish and slim-ish I would guess age 4. She's halfway to 4, it gives growing room if it's a bit on the big side, and it's slightly up from her age to take into account the slightly smaller fit?
