Gap kids?
Permalink Closed

This may sound odd, but has anyone worn any of the Gap kids stuff before? 


I like to buy crops from kids stores because I'm short.  Anything else is just way too long on me.  Most of the cropped pants that I have came from abercrombie kids (I can usually wear a 14 or 16).  Anyway, there's a cute white pair on sale at Gap kids and I don't know what size to get because the size chart does not list hip measurements.  I'd feel weird trying stuff on in the store.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  I think I need a 16 but I'm not sure.

I do this too! 


What size do you wear in 'big girls' Gap bottoms?  I wear a 2 in reg. Gap and a 14-ish in Gap Kids.  I find that the rises tend to be higher and the thighs are roomier than adult clothes, but they can be a bit tight in the hips depending on the style.


Have you been to Aeropostale?  Really teeny-bopper, but I get almost all my capris from there - they make short sizes in their jeans too, FWIW.

Thanks!  I usually wear a 2 in regular Gap so I probably need a 14, too.  I go in Aeropostale occasionally but I've never looked at their jeans. I didn't know they made short sizes!  Maybe I'll look into that before ordering the ones from the Gap. 


Thanks for the help!

lol, I do this too but I hate to buy without trying them on. just grab the kids clothes and then a few "normal" things too. Put the normal ones on top as you go into the fitting room, and no one else has to know what burried under there. ;)

That's a great idea.  Or if you live near by, then buy it, and return if it doesn't fit right.

my best friend also does this (i am not lucky enough to wear the kids pants) she has a pair of GAP capris that she loves and she is a 0-2 and wore a 14 in them. 


hth!

That's awesome, I hadn't thought of that! I'll try it next time.
