When Your Kid Hits Adult Sizes Do You ...?
DD is 4'9.5" tall and solid (took her measurements the other day so I'd know what to order if she decided she was too embarrassed to wear her shirts without bras, or if she wanted a light support sports bra for PE, which she will do in person) which means she's rapidly outgrowing kids' sizing.
All of my go-to brands (Primary, TCP, Tea, etc.) run too small for her now, and while I'm a little sad, I'm also being a realist here:
My child was never going to be petite. Ever. (DH and I are tall.)
I just ordered her new shorts for summertime, but went to the women's section at Old Navy (because they run funky) and ordered according to her measurements (her hip measurement puts her at a 4 but her waist brings her up to a 6 or 8; I went with the 4 because waists aren't adjustable in adult sizing) ... and because they were $10/pair on a one-day special. (Plus used a free shipping coupon.)
Are there other brands I should be poking around in during this weird phase?

Ok...but they’ll sell sizes that might fit her. I’m just saying don’t jump to women’s stuff because it is cut differently.
H&M is a great suggestion too.
You’re not shopping for you. :)
Eta- swim wear isn’t just bikinis and utilitarian one pieces. I can swim laps in my tankinis. Im not racing but I could probably do them in some bikinis too. Athlete and Title 9 make some fantastic 2 piece suits built for sport. I’m all about 2 piece swimwear because of the bathroom. So much easier to deal with.
Don’t let your brand issues make this challenging. This can be fun for dd to experiment. You never know what might work now.
Try Kohl’s juniors too.
