Another Boden sizing question...

[nikamama]

At my DD last ped appt (2-3 months ago), she was 36.5" tall and weighed about 28.5 pounds, putting her in the 75th to 80th percentile for height. Now I'm trying to buy her some fall clothes thru Boden, which she won't wear until probably October or November. I'm trying to decide if the 3-4y pants will just be WAY too big (she turns 3 in January). So if anyone has any input, I'd love to hear it

My DD was about 38 inches tall last summer. A year later, she's 40.5 inches tall and 35 lbs and they are still on the "generous" side - I am getting her more size 3-4 for the Fall/Winter. I never owned any 2-3s, so I don't know how they fit, but I suspect that if you are buying for this year, then you'll be better off with 2-3. My experience with Boden is that 3-4 fits like a 4T in Gymboree (a little bigger than 100 in Hanna). They now have a new sizing system for some items in single sizes, in which case I would recommend you get 3s.
