Dunno I just roll up up sleeves and pants.

Try to find 3/4 sleeves - it will be full (or almost full) length on short kids.
One thing I learned never to buy is sets - in pants I would need a size bigger than in tops, and with sets I would end up either with a huge top or a tight pants waistband.

Thanks. Yes I've already learned that about sets Smile

I don't mind rolling sleeves too much, but not a fan of the rolled pants look so was curious what others do

I think most non jewish companies should be fine. It's the jewish brands that have a very tight fit.

Fold it in instead of out, or hem it.

Leggings look OK rolled up - just don't buy Lil Leggs brand, they run extra narrow and ends up extra extra long... I found the butterfly brand to be very good (oddly though I never bought larger than 12-18 month size. My kids wear those basically from when they fit into it until they stop wearing leggings. The larger sizes don't stay on the waist somehow and this size seems to grow along with them.) Those fron non jewish stores are also generally good (target, Walmart)

My babies have all been short and chunky. Almost all of their clothing is H&M, carters and target. I do sometimes have to roll the pants. It doesn’t always look great (sometimes you can’t really notice it) but I’d rather they be comfy than look 100% stylish. If you really really cared you could hem the pants.

Oh and when I do find something that works I buy it in the next few sizes up also!
