I'm trying to figure out Cordelia's t-shirt size. I mean, I know it-- youth medium. Unfortunately, the volleyball camp she may be going to only uses adult sizes, so I have to guess. Is she likely to be an adult small? Anybody know? I'm not certain of the differences between adult and youth sizes.

If it were me, I'd see whether I could find online the size charts for some of the common brands of tees used in custom printing - Champion, Gildan, and American Apparel come to mind - and see which adult size most closely matches the child/youth medium.

Everything I've been able to find suggests that an adult small is the best match, so that's what I'm going with.

In the T-shirts I'm currently selling for a similar event, child large is approximately equivalent to adult small. (Is Youth the same as Child? Usually it is, I think.)

However, clothing sizes vary SO MUCH that I wouldn't trust it unless you have the brand name of the shirts. If she's still at a child L or less, though, adult small will probably fit her best.

One of my pet peeves is the clothing industry switching from numbered sizes, which were mostly pretty consistent across brands, to "small/medium/large," which for kids is different for each brand. What were they thinking? Adult sizes are at least a little bit consistent, but kids' are not.

You can google for various size charts. Adult small is a *lot* bigger than kids' medium. Kids' medium is usually about a 10-12, while adult small is maybe equivalent to a kids' 18-20, in my experience.

One of Kendra's pet peeves is how so many groups only give out t-shirts that are about a zillion times bigger than she is. :-S

Since adult small is the smallest they're offering, that's what I'm going with. I suppose Cordelia will grow into it.

She's been wearing youth medium for years now. That's what we get every season from Rec & Ed. She has enough sports t-shirts now that she could get through the summer wearing nothing else. (Well, no other shirts...)
