I find they run true to the size-chart measurements - they are the only jeans I buy for my DD because we need something with a full cut leg. DD's legs are very muscular.
She is 4 yrs old, ~42" tall, and is growing into a size 5 at OshKosh. Height-wise, the size 5 runs from 43" to 45", so there's a lot of room to grow.
I feel that they wash very well, though I usually wash them with my own jeans, which means permanent press cycle, cold/cold. I hang my own jeans, but feel OK tossing these into the dryer on ultra low 'til they are damp-dry & then hanging works out pretty well.
I prefer dark washes, so I recommend using Color Catchers the first few times you launder them ... and do NOT wash them with whites the first time!
