Does any one know anything about Mondor sizing? I have the chance to buy a dress for a good price but all i know is that its marked YJ. Is that larger than a 12/14 or about the same? the dress is being sold by an online store and provides very little information.
Mondor's sizes in kids run small; my (very tiny) DD was in a 6/8 when she was a petite age 4. I would measure your kid and compare it to the Mondor size chart on their website.
What about Adults sizes? I want to buy some polartec leggings but reading the size chart & measuring the 'inseam' it all points to Med, but I'm a wee tiny thing - I have a tiny waist but big hips which is a real nuisance in buying pants, literally I can't pick clothes off the shelf here...
Overall I'm usually a size 8 ladies, when I can get a shape that agree with my big hips
Mondor has recently re-named their sizing. A YJ (Youth Junior) is now a 12-14. The 12-14 on this chart is now a garment size 10-12.

I find Mondor runs one size off. Dd has an an 8-10 dress and cannot wear it - it is the same size as 6/7 in other brands.

My daughter wears a size 0 in womens pants and a size xs or s in shirts. Her Mondor dress is a size ladies small. It has spaghetti straps on it that I adjusted to make the dress fit her better. Fwiw, her girth is 55 inches, bust is 32in, waist is 26 in and her hips are 31.5 in.
I agree with the sizing, Mondor definitely runs about a size smaller than what one would wear normally in other clothing.
I got my pants today - so for anyone trying to size without trying them on
I was borderline Adult Sml/Med - I bought Med, they just fit length wise. Personally I find the back just a little too low - its like a scoop back and the waist just a tiny bit too loose as well (a common problem for me) but I'm hoping I can find someone with good sewing skills & see if I can make some changes to get them to fit better.
The advice to go a size up from what you expect to be is sound advice, also it helps to check the size charts & estimated seam lengths to help you decide which size to get.
Good to know kiwi
