Default Need Naartjie sizing help!

I am currently trying to make my first order from the Brea store. They have the denim butterfly jumper, size 18-24m.,
the essential spotted fancy pants size 18-24m. and the essential short sleeve spotted top size 18-24m on hold for me. My daughter is 2 1/2, weighs about 30 lbs and normally wears Gymboree pants size 2T or 3 and shirts size 2T-3T. Do you think the 18-24m. stuff on hold will fit my daughter? I am not sure how small or large the Naartjie stuff runs because this is my first order. I really appreciate any feedback you can give me!
Thanks!
Missy

IMO there's not a very big difference in length between the 18-24, the 2t or the 3 in the pants. There *is* a difference in the waist-- 2ts are a lot wider, so much so that a lot of us who would otherwise order 2ts order either 18-24 or 3 instead. 3s are overall narrower than the 18-24s, and also have a shorter rise.

I have tops in both 18-24 and 2t, and there's not a lot of difference there, either. I don't have any tops in 3s, so I'm not sure how much larger they are.

We have (and LOVE) the outfit you have on hold. Everything in the pics below is a 2t. The bottoms are really too large, the top fits well (but with room), and while I like the fit of the jumper, it definitely has room to grow. Eliza is about 33" and 23 or 24 pounds.

You don't mention how tall your DD is, but unless she's a lot taller, I think the pants and jumper will be fine for her. I'm less certain about the tee.

I agree with Karin's assessment on Naartjie sizing. My dd will be wearing Gymbo 2T for summer but I have been buying her Naartjie stuff in 2T for tops and dresses but 18-24 for bottoms (with some occasional 3s thrown in!). If I were you, I'd try to get the dress and top in a 2T and keep the pants in an 18-24.

If you have to b/c of availability - go for size 3 in everything :) I bet it fits!
