My understanding of this size is that it is basically a junior size for girls who could still fit easily into children’s sizes, but want the style/fashion of an older girl…My D’s best friend is only 14, but aside from height, still has a body more like a child’s. I think the 0’s, 1’s, etc. are for girls like those. This same friend is the one who hands down clothes to my 11-year-old, who is built very much like D’s best friend. In fact, my youngest D, who is going into sixth grade next year, still fits very comfortably into a child’s size 7 for skirts, pants, etc.</p>
