Bought these for my 6 year old grandaughter, she is very thin, so the waist was somewhat big, but they fit well everywhere else. You can't go wrong with Gymboree. They should take in consideration the waist size & make the elastic a little smaller. A little tuck & they work great.
Hooray for loose shorts! They’re cute and they aren’t tight. That’s what matters to us. My 4-yr-old has a large backside and tight/bike shorts and leggings are never big enough—she has to go up to a size 8. She wears these with T’s or under dresses. Thank you!
