I was apprehensive about buying this jumper. So many reviews had fit issues, esp with the straps being too long — & some looked like they just fit weird. My daughter is shorter/ smaller than average so I thought it would fit her wrong & I’d have to do some sewing. We have several of the full front type of jumpers (I think the brand is something like Bienzone, also purchased on Amazon), which fit fine but are starting to get a little hard to pull over her head. Maybe she should step in & pull up, but even with no real hips it’s hard to get on that way. So they’re just not as easy to get into. Enter the v-neck jumper!!!It’s much easier to get into & with the front open, her face doesn’t get covered & she doesn’t freak out at all. And it’s actually a lot cuter in person; the pictures don’t do it justice at all. I *love* the elastic across the back of the waist; that’s where bottoms always need to be tightened so that there isn’t a gap between clothing & body. I realize it’s a fixed size, but my kids hate the elastics that stick out of adjustable waists & prefer an all elastic waist.The straps aren’t too long, or too short either. This jumper fits her perfectly, like it was made for her. I don’t know how this will really grow with her, since there isn’t a ton of wiggle room. But my kid is petite & honestly doesn’t grow a whole lot (🤷🏻♀️) year to year. Most of the time she wears her clothes out before she outgrows them, though I don’t see that happening here. It’s well made & sturdy — exactly what uniforms need to be.I also appreciate that the straps aren’t super thin & don’t flop around to the sides. It is absolutely perfect for girls who are juuuuust starting to develop but don’t actually need a sports/training bra yet. It’s like a little bit of built in modesty, esp when pairing with light colored tops.I wash most of the kids clothes in cold water & dry on low, to avoid shrinkage & prevent darks from fading. This jumper didn’t shrink, didn’t fade & didn’t wrinkle; it came out of the dryer perfect with pleats still in place — I don’t iron so this is a must. If I let it sit in the dryer, there is some minor wrinkling, but the pleats still stay. The color is beautiful (looks great with light AND dark tops!), so I’m thrilled that it won’t fade & turn into a different shade.I wish I hadn’t waited so long to buy this style, as we both prefer it over the full front jumpers. It looks seriously cute on, is easy to care for & top quality — a true workhorse for school uniforms. I’d keep buying these even if she didn’t need to wear a uniform!! I’m actually back to buy more, with some in bigger sizes for future wearing.For size reference, my daughter is around 48” tall & 57lbs. Though everyone is shaped differently, so it’s really just for estimations. She wears a 7/8 in everything & depending on the brand/cut/item it can be perfect, a little tight, or a little big.
