Donder's size groups lean toward the larger size in the range. Thanks to the stretch, children can often wear a size down. For example, a child just entering size 74 can still wear 62/68 but with a snugger fit. If they are between 68 and 74, the smaller size group will still fit well, while 74/80 will be roomier.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sizing
