What happens to girls’ sizes after 14/16? I’m so confused. My daughter is almost 12 and one of the tallest kids among her friends and classmates. TIA awesome moms!

Happening now with mine too - the next step is Juniors! Mine is starting to wear some size XS in juniors clothing. 😭

You might have some luck with Tea Collection or Gap/Old Navy which both have a teen collection. I also shop Kohl’s, J Crew, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods. Possibly even Osh Kosh. I recently shopped Hollister and would obviously have to be selective, but right now some of the trends are like 90s styles so it’s not all skimpy. It depends on your/her style too - we are a bit sporty so there are Nike and other athletic styles and brands that have good options for t shirts, shorts, etc.

Yeah in a similar boat except I may just skip over juniors and go to women’s since the clothes in her size cover less than kids sizes and the styles are more appropriate for clubbing than middle school.

100% agree. Everything is crop tops and super short shorts!

Juniors. XS, S. Jeans size 0 and usually odd numbers. "Women's" styles are usually 0 and even numbers.

I’m dealing with the same, my 11 yo is around 5’1” and flat out said that she didn’t like the way her body was shaped or being taller than most of her friends. Outside of hugs and telling her she’s beautiful and built exactly the way God wanted IDK what to say.

I have boys and they started wearing men’s sizes in shirts when they were 11! And their feet!!! Good god, they are 13 years old with size 12 shoes! They are men already, at least physically..... and puberty has only just begun....... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Hang in there, it goes super fast!

uplifting

I am starting to look at women’s small and petite clothing for dressier clothes and the bigger kid sizes at the gap, justice, etc. for everyday. There’s usually a decent selection of appropriate options at loft and Ann Taylor for dressier clothes.

It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

In dev job Java, spring r etc getting better pay. Also some SAP consultant are also get paid high.
Is exp people in testing/frontend dev are less due to which they getting better pay than others with experience.
