This lab coat exceeds my expectations.  Very nice material and well made.  I was at the hospital a few days ago visiting someone and when the doctor came in, I checked out his lab coat and I was amazed that the one I ordered look every bit as good as the one the doctor wore, if not better.  I can't wait for my granddaughter to wear this on career day at her school. My granddaughter is 5 and average size and height for her age.  I ordered the 7-8 and I am so glad I did.  Gives her extra room to grow without looking too big right now.
