Lucky for us, leggings seem to run narrow and older pairs did seem to run short. We're in 2T leggings now and the length is tts for my ~45th percentile height girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2074085 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 17:39:06 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2074085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: @theRoo: @pinkcupcake: FWIW my comment above was only about dresses! I haven't ordered anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2073715 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 14:34:15 +0000 78h2o 2073715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter wears a ton of Tea. The red label Tea, from years ago, definitely run small (the fabric is also thicker and higher quality). In recent years, it really seems to vary depending on the collection. In general though, I feel like Tea runs pretty true to size...except for leggings, which I agree run a little small. I mostly wash in cold and hang to dry. Tea shrinks a lot, so if you're putting it in the dryer, I would say it runs small.</p> <p>ETA: some of the recent woven dresses we've had have run smaller than the knit ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2073692 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 14:22:19 +0000 theRoo 2073692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree dresses run large and pants run short! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2073063 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 09:49:51 +0000 spaniellove 2073063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@farawayviolet: @mrs.shinerbock: @Pancakes: Okay whew, I was starting to think there was something wrong with me or LO's waist (which is pretty small) but maybe it's just their pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072957 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 08:38:46 +0000 Pancakes 2072957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: I agree that their leggings definitely run small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072952 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 08:32:07 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2072952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Their dresses and read mores seem to run a little big to me, but their leggings seem to be a little small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072950 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 08:31:35 +0000 farawayyama 2072950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found it to run small! DD is 5 months and a peanut. In most things she is just starting to fit 3-6 months but has almost outgrown her tea dress :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072945 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 08:25:58 +0000 spaniellove 2072945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've found it to run small for us! Pants especially - I don't put them in the dryer but the waistband is very tight with no stretch which seems tough for babies, and I think he'll grow out of their 6-12 in length before other brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072861 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 06:13:18 +0000 mediagirl 2072861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the line. The red label dresses we have seem to run small while the dresses I recently bought from their Morocco line seem huge! </p> <p>Their clothes shrink if you dry them, though so that may be the difference, too. The Morocco dresses are brand new while the red tag ones were used. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072828 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 02:36:05 +0000 PurplePeony 2072828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have a couple Tea things, but the top is a bit on the larger side and the sleeper is HUGE. It's a 6-12 months and DD didn't even start fitting into it until 13 months...at almost 15 months, it's still got some room for her to grow. For comparison, she fits perfectly in Carter's 12-month, still fits in Gap 6-12 but not for much longer and can also comfortably wear Gap 12-18, and fits in Gymboree 12-18 with some room to grow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072776 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 00:37:32 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2072776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do think they run a little large! My LO is wearing 3t in pretty much all the other brands but when I ordered 3s from Tea Collection they were pretty big on her. She's growing so fast, we didn't really mind though. After a few washes and about a month and a half they are mostly fitting ok. </p> <p>I also think baby gap has been running small lately. Or at least their stuff tends to shrink pretty small. We had a 2t romper from there over the summer that already looked smallish but after one dry cycle (on accident though) it was comparable to 6-9m baby clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tea-collection-runs-big#post-2072719 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 23:42:46 +0000 pinkcupcake 2072719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else find that Tea Collection runs a little large? I thought it fit true to size until I checked out some of the 3T stuff I've been saving for awhile - it's so much bigger than the Baby Gap 3T. I feel like my 3-yo is gonna fit into 2T Tea Collection for a long time. </p>
