I love the fabric, it’s cool and is the type that in my experience doesn’t fade in the wash, nor shrink. My daughter is 8 the 12 fits but very “exact “ from the butt/hip area I would say is just a bit snug , and when tucking in a shirt it’s just too tight , so I ordered her a 12plus , and the plus is way too big . I like the style and fabric so much that I’m going to try one last time by ordering a size up which would be a 14 instead of the plus , hoping that one fits better.
Before ordering I wished there was a picture showing just how much bigger the “plus” size was , now that I had to get both to see. Here’s the picture , hopefully it helps someone.
