Gap Kids Super Skinny Dot Jeans

I walked into Gap a few weeks ago and tried on a few pairs of Gap Kids Skinny Jeans in hopes of finding a cheap alternative to printed jeans. Sadly, I left empty handed when I tried on a size 14 pair. It was overall too small. I didn't realize that Gap also had plus size kids until I saw Fast Food and Fashion's Gap Kids review so I became motivated to find the right size. The slim and plus sizes are only available online, so I placed an order online during Gap's Friends and Family promotion.

 I realized why I had so much trouble finding my size. The plus sizes are 3 1/2 inches longer in the waist, 3 inch longer in the hips, and 3 inches shorter in length than the real size counterpart. Crazy vanity size for kids clothes! I couldn't figure out my size point blank, hence the reason why I ordered 3 sizes. After playing around in Excel and analyzing the different sizes, I realized how much thought was put into naming the sizes. Well played, Gap, you've fooled the kids...or have you just confused the parents?

                        Sorted by Size                                                                Sorted by Waist 

I purchased 3 sizes: 12 Plus (in Blue), 14 Plus (Pink) , and 16 (Blue). You can see the length comparisons among all 3 pairs. I put my Size 0R Gap Skimmer/Fresh Crop Jeans next to all of them to show you how they compare in length to my adult size crop skinny jeans. Length wise, the 12 plus, is definitely my size....and it is!

These pants also have an adjustable waist, but in my opinion, I didn't think it really did anything when I unbuckled it or maybe I just don't know how to use it...

Size 12 Plus: The Winner

---

The size 12 Plus fit me the best..around the waist, in the hips, and even in length. However, I thought the length was a little to short for me (maybe I'm just used to pants that fit too long on me). I rolled them up a bit to make them more like cropped pants.

Size 14 Plus: Roomy Fit

---

The size 14 Plus pair was overall too big for me: in length, in the waist, and in the hips.  I couldn't even fake the fit. 

Size 16: Mom Jeans

---

Gosh this size 16 pair made me feel like I was wearing mom jeans. The waist felt higher and the inseam was so short! I was very uncomfortable. The pants were bagging over the legs and too long for my 5 feet stature.

Now that I know my Gap Kids size, I'm sure I can take advantage of the lower priced "petite" clothes. Granted, I know the fit won't work for me all the time since I am a curvy 20 something year old and not a 12 year old kid.
