Bought a 14-16 (big girl) thinking it would fit my 11 year old granddaughter.  She's tall and thin and I thought the extra size would fit.  A little big is way better than a little small and I just wanted something to cover her arms and back with the added protection of the hood.  BAD MOVE!  When she opened it up, it wasn't long, it was super wide.  I put it next to a similar item I purchased for her 7 year old sister (size 8) and the eight was longer in the torso and arms than the 14-16.  Major disappointment.  My first thought was they sent the wrong size, but the label clearly read 14-16.  Never again.
