Like other reviews commented, this skirt has a super big waist. It's not proportional in size at all. Too bad had to return because the design is cute.
The skirt is beautiful and great quality but like others said, it’s way too big around the waist and no way to adjust. My daughter is 3 years old wears a 4T and the matching shirt fits fine but the skirt slips right off.
My daughter typically wears an 8 in Gymboree but I sized down to a 7 since she is slim. It was still way too huge - the waist was almost twice the size of a pair of size 8 Gymboree leggings.
I bought a size 5 skirt with a size 7 shirt for my daughter, the skirt was still huge in the waist. I'm going to try a size 4 skirt, but it seems odd to buy a size 4 for my 7 year old.
I ordered both a 4T and 5T for my thin five year old because some her Gymboree skirts run large. The 4T completely falls off and there is no way to tighten the waist band. It is super cute and I will likely try to get an even smaller size but then worry about the length.
