DD has outgrown a couple of her winter dresses. she loves to wear dresses so I want to get some others. I found some on Gymboree. Does anyone know how the dresses run? DD wears a size 7 top in Gymboree and a size 6 bottom. Should I get a size 6 or 7 dress?

These are the dresses I am choosing from:

The first dress is my favorite of the three. My DD is still in the toddler sizes at Gymbo, but I find the dresses to be cut liberally. She is a solid 2T in pants and tops, but her 2T dresses are a little roomier. But I would probably get the 7 so she has some grow room in it.

I like the first and third. I don't know about Gymbo sizes past 3, but to me they usually seem to run really big.

I like the 1st and 3rd as well. I find Gymboree to run really wide but short, if that helps. When I get DD dresses, I get whatever size she is on top, because she's got a long torso, but even so, I think if she needs a 7 in tops, I'd get a 7.

I like the first one the best. If you are orderingbonline, id get both sizes and return because they may sell out since dresses are on sale.
I think gymboree dresses run really big however so if I had to pick would say the smaller size.

I like the third. In dresses, I always buy the size she is on top. The style of the dress should be fine if it's still a little roomy.

I like the 3rd (a little less holidayish) and I'd go with a 7 so she has room to grow!

Thanks everyone. I ended up only ordering this one:

It's the only one of the 3 that is more of an everyday dress. I saw the first and second in person in gymboree. I did not like the second one. the brown one I love, but it's just to fancy for everyday wear IMO. DD did love the green one when I showed it to her in the store, so I feel I made a good purchase.
