Crazy 8

July 30th, 2008

I’m officially done with Crazy 8. For those of you not familiar with the company it’s Gymboree’s lower priced sister store. Like Old Navy is to Gap. Anyway, apparently they only make children’s clothes for freakishly tall anorexic children. I bought this t-shirt for Daphne in a size 12-18 months (supposed to fit 22 to 27 lbs, my child is probably 17.5 lbs):

It’s really snug around the middle, but if I sized up to a 18-24 months, then she could wear it as a dress and the neck would be big and weird. I really don’t get their sizing. Daphne is average for height and below average for weight… she should fit into one of their sizes. But she doesn’t. Too bad.

    I agree! We love Gymboree but I can’t stand Crazy 8’s sizing, even for a 5 yr old the sizing is crazy!

    Good to know it’s not just us!! I had problems with some 0-3 mo stuff I ordered last year and vowed never to order again online. This shirt I bought at the store in Houston and even measuring things up against her I didn’t have any better luck. The 18-24 mo shirt was at least 2 inches longer than the 12-18 mo (which seems a lot for a baby size). So weird!
